Horizon sets new broadband possibilities in Ohio with AdtranIndustry Announcements, , 6/13/2022
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. – Adtran, Inc., (NASDAQ: ADTN), the leading provider of next-generation multi-gigabit fiber access and fiber extension solutions, today announced Horizon has selected the Adtran 10G fiber access platform and intelligent SaaS software to build a new fiber network throughout several communities in Ohio. Horizon is leveraging the Adtran end-to-end broadband solution to expand its service footprint, proactively monitor its growing network and bring high-quality symmetrical broadband to rural communities. Horizon is a multi-state service provider in Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Illinois. Initially beginning in Southern Ohio, Horizon has provided telecommunications services for over 125 years and has since expanded its enterprise-grade fiber capabilities to provide world-class services to enterprise and carrier customers. Horizon has now expanded its focus to meet an increased demand from residential communities for reliable broadband service. The service provider selected the Adtran 10G fiber access platform along with the Adtran intelligent SaaS software to deliver the highest quality fiber broadband services while optimizing network operations and increasing service velocity. The ability to easily monitor network uptime and congestion enables Horizon to respond to potential issues before they become a subscriber issue. The Ohio communities that Horizon plans to serve are rural and suburban areas that were previously limited to traditional cable or telephone company service. With the new fiber network, Horizon can deploy multi-gigabit services that are 900x faster than before and will be the first symmetrical services ever offered in these communities. Horizon also chose the Adtran 10G fiber access platform because it simplifies migration to future technologies. Read the full press release here. |
