ADTN Boosts Network Infrastructure of Research Center: Stock to Gain?
ADTRAN, Inc. ADTN has recently announced that Centre Régional Informatique et d’Applications Numériques de Normandie (“CRIANN”) has deployed ADTRAN’s FSP 3000 optical transport technology and ALM fiber monitoring platform to enhance network connectivity across research and education centers in France. ADTRAN’s Elite partner Axians played a crucial role in the installation process and will provide maintenance support in the future.
The growing usage of data-intensive applications in the domain of AI (artificial intelligence) research and simulation-based studies is propelling the demand for high-performance digital infrastructure. Applications like real-time simulations and collaborative research projects require ultra-low latency and consistently high-speed connectivity. In addition, network infrastructure should be highly adaptable and scalable enough to allow institutions to enhance capacity and support future technological advancements.
Integration of ADTN’s FSP 3000 will enable CRIANN to address these requirements. ADTRAN’s offering includes FSP 3000 OpenFabric 1200, the latest module in ADTN’s FSP 3000 OpenFabric series. Its compact, cost-efficient design is optimized for multiple optical transport networks (OTN) and Ethernet client services from 10 Gbit/s to 400 Gbit/s. The flexible OTN solution facilitates a smooth upgrade process from the existing transport network. The leading-edge optical transport technology boosts capacity across CRIANN’s entire fiber infrastructure while making the network services more resilient.
To mitigate hindrances related to network disruptions, CRIANN has also installed ADTN’s cutting-edge Advanced Link Monitoring (ALM) solution. With the real-time geographic information system, the solution effectively detects any fiber issues with pinpoint precision. This feature allows maintenance teams to form a better understanding of the fiber ecosystem, enabling them to act swiftly in case of any disruption. This capability minimizes downtime and operating costs and improves service availability.
The successful deployment of the FSP 3000 and ALM fiber monitoring platforms at CRIANN underscores the reliability of ADTN’s product suite in establishing scalable, high-speed, resilient network infrastructure. The shift toward digital advancements from research institutions can present a solid growth opportunity for ADTN’s innovative optical transport and fiber monitoring solutions.
ADTRAN’s comprehensive portfolio is a competitive differentiator with a wide array of flexible software and hardware network solutions and services that enable operators to transition to a fully converged, scalable, highly automated, cloud-controlled voice, data, Internet and video network of the future. The company expects solid traction in domestic markets for ultra-broadband and fiber-to-the-home solutions, along with Software-Defined access and Ethernet passive optical network solutions.
