ADTRAN, Inc. ADTN recently announced that its state-of-the-art XGS-PON (Passive Optical Network) fiber access technology has been deployed by Highland Broadband to bring the full-fiber broadband network in Halkirk village of Scotland. This collaboration will enable the Internet service provider to deliver Gigabit-speed broadband to homes and businesses, eliminating digital barriers that have limited education, remote work and business growth in the village.
How ADTN Powers Highland Broadband’s Fiber Deployment?
Fiber technology has become increasingly crucial in connecting everything to high-speed Internet services, with operators using it to generate new opportunities with different PON services worldwide. Through the integration of ADTRAN’s intelligent XGS-PON technology, Highland Broadband can now deliver speeds of up to 10Gbit/s to meet the growing bandwidth demand.
At the core of the deployment is ADTRAN’s state-of-the-art 8733 Wi-Fi 7 residential gateways, which feature a 10GbE Wide area network and local area network port, a powerful quad-core ARM (Advanced RISC Machine) processor and advanced tri-band radios. Supporting up to 19Gbit/s of aggregate bandwidth and more than 200 devices, the solution ensures seamless multi-device connectivity and superior performance. Additionally, the 631 optical network terminals, equipped with 10GbE interfaces, deliver ultra-reliable, future-ready connectivity, enabling Highland Broadband to provide resilient, high-speed services that scale with customer needs.
Moreover, the deployment of the industry-leading Mosaic One cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution will simplify network operations and help troubleshoot issues by analyzing data from the broadband network gateway and the in-home network remotely. Automated provisioning and bandwidth management will ensure efficient scaling while maintaining reliability. This deployment will likely help Highland Broadband gain valuable insights to optimize network performance, enabling it to efficiently expand connectivity across Scotland’s most underserved communities.
