nation. Part of the Broadband Infrastructure Deployment initiative,
the solution will deliver symmetrical Gigabit services to the
Mescalero Apache reservation. The deployment is set to have a
significant impact on the community, empowering residents with
access to critical online resources such as education, telehealth
services and remote work opportunities. Key components of the new
network include Adtran’s AI-driven Mosaic One Device Manager and
its Oscilloquartz timing and synchronization technology. Adtran’s
partner, Netceed, a leading provider of materials, distribution and
supply chain management solutions supporting the telecommunications
and broadband industry, is also playing a key role in the
project.

“Building high-quality internet infrastructure is one of the
most effective ways of improving life in tribal communities. That’s
why, as part of the award we’ve received to help close the digital
divide in New Mexico, we’re connecting 29 community anchor
institutions, including libraries and Head Start centers, to our
new symmetrical Gigabit services,” said Godfrey Enjady, GM of MATI.
“As our trusted and longstanding partner, it’s great to have Adtran
by our side as we roll out the first FTTH tribal network using
XGS-PON technology. By leveraging their innovation, we’re expanding
and enhancing our network with a flexible, scalable platform primed
to address today’s connectivity challenges and ready to support
tomorrow’s multigigabit demands.”
Adtran’s technology is empowering MATI to seamlessly transition
to an XGS-PON network that provides full-fiber and fixed wireless
access connectivity. The Total Access 5000 lays the foundations for
a robust infrastructure, while Mosaic One streamlines network
operations and subscriber device management for efficient,
customer-centric service delivery. Adtran’s ONTs are supplying
high-speed internet to 835 previously unserved households and 336
business premises. Featuring a 10GbE interface, the compact and
powerful devices are also capable of providing premium multigigabit
services. For enhanced in-home coverage, Adtran’s high-performance
mesh routers deliver extensive and reliable connectivity. And with
the precision of Adtran’s Oscilloquartz synchronization technology,
the solution ensures a seamless and robust experience for new and
existing subscribers.
“We’re proud to support MATI in its mission. What we all share
is a commitment to fostering digital inclusivity. It’s crucial that
tribal communities are not just connected but also fully equipped
with the reliable, high-quality tools and resources necessary to
thrive in an increasingly digital world,” commented John
Scherzinger, GM of Americas sales at Adtran. “By leveraging our
broadband solutions and the dedicated support of the Adtran and
Netceed team, MATI is enriching lives and creating new
opportunities for learning, growth and development. It’s enabling
these previously underserved communities to make digital access a
foundational element of their growth and success.”
“At Netceed, a large part of our mission involves connecting the
unconnected. As a one-stop shop distribution and solutions partner
to our customers, we strive to push the boundaries of technology,
helping ensure universal access to digital opportunities,” noted
Chet Enos, senior director of sales, south central at Netceed. “The
deployment of Adtran’s open and scalable fiber access solution
marks a significant advancement for these communities. Working
closely together, we’ve been able to equip MATI’s subscribers with
the high-quality, ultra-fast broadband they deserve. It’s vital
that New Mexico’s rural tribal homes and businesses have affordable
access to the same information and resources available in other
areas of the country. With its new network, MATI is paving the way
for people living in remote regions to benefit from a more
connected and prosperous future, and we’re proud to be part of this
initiative.”
