The equipment enables SCRTC to deliver voice, IPTV, and high-speed data over ADSL2+, bonded ADSL2+, and GPON.
"After evaluating many access vendors, we selected the ADTRAN Total Access 5000 for its unmatched capacity and flexibility in an all-Ethernet platform. The Total Access 5000 allows us to offer a multiplay solution that includes HD content to meet evolving consumer needs," said Dave Davis, operations manager, SCRTC.
