“Communications service providers (CSPs) are working hard to
bring high-quality broadband services to underserved regions
efficiently and cost-effectively,” said Julie Kunstler, chief
analyst at Omdia. “Low-port OLT solutions enable CSPs to bring
full-fiber (FTTP) to small pockets of subscribers without
sacrificing performance and functionality or requiring a large
upfront investment. This approach is critical for connecting
difficult-to-reach communities.”
Featuring four Combo PON ports, Adtran’s SDX 6324 OLT delivers
high-performance services to up to 500 subscribers. Perfect for
rural deployments or for providing multi-dwelling units (MDUs) with
reliable, high-speed broadband, the compact 1RU platform is easy to
install and meets a broad range of deployment scenarios. With a
small upfront cost, the SDX 6324 enables the rapid expansion of
fiber networks without any concern about underutilized equipment
capacity. By taking all the advantages of the higher-port family of
SDX OLTs and incorporating them into a more cost-efficient form
factor, Adtran’s SDX 6324 ensures that every community can access
symmetrical, multigigabit broadband services.
“Service providers often struggle with small-scale deployments.
Finding the right technology at the right price isn’t always easy.
The practice of deploying over-dimensioned solutions has challenged
operators for many years. Our new SDX 6324 hits the sweet spot.
It’s been engineered to help service providers easily roll out
fiber services to low-density environments without any risk or
unused capacity. You pay for exactly what you need,” commented Andy
Ruble, GM of Access and Aggregation, Adtran. “With the addition of
the SDX 6324 to our family of next-generation OLT devices, we offer
service providers a true pay-as-you-grow approach to building their
networks. They can start small and upgrade to larger SDX OLTs as
and when needed.”
