ADTN Powers ACE Fiber's Expansion in New Albany: Stock to Gain?

ADTRAN, Inc. ADTN recently announced that ACE Fiber, the fiber subsidiary of Alcorn County Electric Power Association, has successfully expanded its network in New Albany, Mississippi, utilizing ADTRAN’s comprehensive suite of fiber network technologies. With this expansion, ACE Fiber plans to significantly boost Internet speed, accessibility and reliability, providing superior connectivity for essential services like telehealth, remote work and online learning to both residential and business customers throughout the city.What ADTN Brings to the Table?At the core of ACE Fiber's enhanced infrastructure is ADTRAN's state-of-the-art FSP 3000 open optical transport solution, which provides a robust, future-proof backbone, connecting Alcorn County with the city of New Albany. This middle-mile infrastructure is further supported by ADTRAN’s ALM fiber assurance platform. Integrated with a deep PON assurance solution, this fiber monitoring solution enhances network health monitoring by providing real-time alerts about potential issues. This proactive approach to network maintenance enables quick identification and resolution of problems, helping to maintain high-quality service. The deployment is also optimized by ADTRAN’s cloud-based Mosaic One software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform. Collating and analyzing data from the broadband network gateway and the in-home network, it simplifies network operations and helps troubleshoot issues. The deployment will likely help ACE Fiber to gain valuable insights from network management and service orchestration applications to optimize network performance. Moreover, as part of this SaaS platform, Intellifi technology will offer AI-driven Wi-Fi optimization, allowing users to fine-tune their Internet settings for a more customized experience.ADTRAN’s optical line terminals will also play a key role in the network’s scalability, enabling rapid expansion to meet growing demand. At the subscriber level, its SDX 600 optical network terminals will provide ultra-fast Internet speeds of up to 10Gbit/s, while the SDG 8000 Series mesh Wi-Fi gateways will deliver top-tier Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 technologies to ensure seamless wireless coverage throughout homes and businesses. This fiber network expansion marks a major step toward bridging the digital divide in New Albany. With the support of ADTRAN’s cutting-edge technology, ACE Fiber is reshaping the city’s connectivity landscape, ensuring fast, reliable Internet access for the future.Increasing Client Base to Drive ADTN PerformanceADTRAN’s comprehensive portfolio is a competitive differentiator with a wide array of flexible software and hardware network solutions and services that enable operators to transition to a fully converged, scalable, highly automated, cloud-controlled voice, data, Internet and video network of the future.
