D & P Communications and Adtran.
Adtran said on Thursday that D & P Communications is harnessing its open and intelligent fiber access technology to bring multigigabit broadband to more subscribers in southern Michigan. The deployment includes Adtran’s scalable fiber broadband solution with Combo PON technology, enabling D & P Communications to efficiently upgrade to symmetrical 10G PON services by seamlessly supporting the install base of GPON subscribers while blanketing the entire fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network with the higher speed and capacity of symmetric 10Gbit/s XGS-PON. This empowers the service provider to scale quickly to meet rising demand for high-speed broadband in urban and underserved rural areas, ensuring reliable multigigabit connectivity for all subscribers.
Robert Parisien, president of D & P Communications, remarked, “For over 125 years, we’ve proudly served the communities of southern Michigan with advanced telecommunications services, constantly evolving to meet their needs. Today, we deliver some of the fastest and most reliable broadband in the country. As data demand continues to surge, we’re once again turning to Adtran’s technology to ensure our subscribers remain ahead of the connectivity curve. With Adtran’s open and flexible fiber access solution as the foundation of our multigigabit infrastructure, we can add capacity as needed without overhauling our existing network. This gives us a clear upgrade path as demand continues to grow. Together with Adtran, we’re bringing southern Michigan into the multigigabit age.”
John Scherzinger, GM of Americas sales at Adtran, commented, “D & P Communications has long been a valued customer, consistently driving innovation and growth in the communities they serve. Our solution allows them to grow their network capacity without replacing their existing GPON infrastructure, ensuring minimal disruption while maximizing the return on their initial investment. Our technology and support are enabling D & P Communications to scale their network efficiently and with confidence. Our enduring partnership is built on trust and a shared vision for delivering high-quality broadband services that continue to meet the evolving needs of subscribers.”
The comprehensive infrastructure upgrade ensures that D&P Communications can deliver dependable broadband to a growing number of subscribers, meeting the rising demand for multigigabit connectivity across Michigan, Adtran said.
