CASSCOMM deploys ADTRAN’s EPON OLTs

CASSCOMM. which serves nine counties in central Illinois, is deploying ADTRAN’s next-generation EPON OLTs for full 1G EPON and 10G EPON fiber service delivery, and GPON and Active Ethernet fiber technologies to enhance ultra-fast and gigabit broadband service availability across its network. CASSCOMM is initially targeting a 550-home residential network build with its new fiber services, to be followed by a three-city turn-up over the next 12 months—culminating with an upgrade to the remaining 29 communities that CASSCOMM serves.

“Our commitment to provide our community with the services it needs goes all the way back to 1898, and we’ve known throughout our history that the best service solutions will always depend on partnering with the right companies,” CASSCOMM COO Tom Allen said. “We needed to ensure our customers had the access and services required in today’s digital marketplace, and ADTRAN provided the domain expertise, broad set of innovative technologies and commitment to customer support we needed to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations.”

“Innovation is happening at all points of the network and ADTRAN is committed to delivering the products, technology and support needed to ensure our customers have the networks they need to reach every customer over any infrastructure,” ADTRAN Vice President of Cable and Wireless Strategy Hossam Salib said.
