Service provider builds fiber network to
connect rural Texas to economic growth
Adtran, Inc., the leading provider of next-generation
multi-gigabit fiber access and fiber extension solutions, today
announced that AW Broadband is leveraging the Adtran end-to-end
fiber broadband solution to deploy a 100% fiber-based network.
Adtran delivers the flexibility and scalability needed to enable AW
Broadband to connect underserved communities, unlock a future-ready
fiber network and attract new economic opportunities to the Texas
Panhandle.
AW Broadband is based in Amarillo, TX, and currently serves
residential and business customers in 31 cities and towns in the
area. It was first incorporated as Amarillo Wireless, a WISP that
rented or leased tower space to connect rural customers. When the
industry started to shift toward fiber broadband networks and
funding became available, it made the decision to transition to
fiber too. AW Broadband was created, and it received funding
through the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund (RDOF) to build its
fiber network in Texas.
“In order to build the best network for us and our customers, we
needed someone with scalable, high-performance solutions and we
found that with Adtran. Other broadband access platforms on the
market are limiting. Adtran offers reliability, flexibility and
premium customer support whenever we need guidance,” said Matthew
Carpenter, President and Co-Owner at AW Broadband. “With Adtran in
our network, we are building a future-ready fiber network that will
easily grow as capacity demands increase. We already have plans to
expand our network footprint soon, and Adtran makes it easy to
light up fiber in every direction.”
Dimmitt, TX, is a town that has already realized the benefits of
AW Broadband’s fiber network. Before fiber, large corporations
surveyed the area with interest to build manufacturing and
warehouse facilities, but the town could not support their
broadband requirements. After the fiber network was deployed,
companies could build there knowing they have access to high-speed
internet. Dimmitt is now growing in population and economic
opportunity.
“We are enabling fiber broadband providers, like AW Broadband,
to unlock unlimited opportunities for rural communities everywhere.
Not only does fiber attract new employers, but it enables anyone to
work, learn, receive healthcare and more from anywhere,” said Brent
Cancienne, Vice President of Sales at Adtran. “We take special care
to listen to our customers to ensure we understand their unique
challenges and deliver expert support. This includes solutions that
accommodate subscriber demand today and in the future, along with
the software to ensure easy network and service management
long-term.”
AW Broadband is leveraging the Adtran end-to-end fiber broadband
solution that includes the Adtran 10G fiber access platform with
Combo PON technology and the Adtran Mosaic One cloud software. The
Adtran 10G Combo PON technology enables AW Broadband to elegantly
deliver a mix of GPON and XGS-PON services simultaneously across
the same fiber. Most of AW Broadband’s residential customers will
start with a Gigabit service on GPON and business customers on 10G
XGS-PON. The simplified migration from GPON to XGS-PON will enable
AW Broadband to easily offer multi-gigabit services to residential
customers when they need it.
In addition, AW Broadband is utilizing the Adtran Mosaic One
cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) to aggregate data from
management and orchestration platforms, broadband access solutions
and subscriber in-home devices to deliver actionable insights to
better care for subscribers, operate their network more efficiently
and more precisely promote their services. This intelligence
enables AW Broadband to quickly visualize, understand and address
network events before they become costly for the business or an
issue for subscribers.
