NetVanta 5660 enables service providers to offer premium managed
services at symmetric Gigabit speeds
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. -- (Business Wire)
ADTRAN®,
Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), today unveiled the industry’s first converged
Layer 2 and Layer 3 Gigabit access router – the NetVanta® 5660. As
service providers look to deliver higher-bandwidth, Carrier Ethernet and
IP-based enterprise services, the NetVanta 5660 is the only Gigabit
platform capable of delivering the voice, video and data required to
support today’s cloud computing, VoIP and streaming video business
applications from a single device. ADTRAN’s leadership in the enterprise
gateway, Carrier Ethernet switch and router markets, as well as the
broadband access infrastructure markets, puts it in an unique position
to help service providers bridge the capabilities of their
high-performance access networks with a services delivery framework that
can support the most demanding enterprise applications.
The new Gigabit access router solution redefines cloud connectivity and
provides a compelling service extension to one of the industry’s
broadest Carrier Ethernet portfolios. This portfolio expansion reduces
the amount of infrastructure needed at the customer premises by
converging the functionality of an access router for voice and data –
including enterprise Session Border Controller (eSBC) – with a Metro
Ethernet Forum (MEF)-certified Carrier Ethernet gateway. The integrated
platform provides Gigabit throughput and offers the following features
and benefits:
- Scalable Bandwidth Delivery: The NetVanta 5660 is a
cost-effective option to support current network demands and can grow
with the customer’s future capacity requirements to symmetric Gigabit
levels.
- Flexible Connectivity Options: Where traditional solutions may
force fit an Ethernet-only termination device and require an
additional modem or fiber NID, the NetVanta 5660 provides multiple
interfaces for fiber and bonded SHDSL or VDSL2.
- Security and Reliability: The NetVanta 5660 provides multiple
levels of redundancy for carrier access services with intelligent
failover capabilities and the ability to auto-recover to original
configurations.
- Quality of Service (QoS): The non-blocking architecture of the
NetVanta 5660 offers service providers greater QoS assurance.
Customers can also prioritize and allocate bandwidth levels to
specific voice, data or other managed services in order to meet
specific SLAs.
“Miercom is impressed with the feature set, robustness and performance
of the ADTRAN NetVanta 5660 router,” said Robert Smithers, CEO, Miercom.
“Hands on testing verified symmetric line rate throughput with five 1
Gigabit Ethernet ports active, and observed an aggregated throughput of
3.9Gbps. The ADTRAN NetVanta 5660 router offers remarkable performance,
flexible connectivity options and a robust set of MEF-certified Carrier
Ethernet functions in a compact 1U appliance.”
“With the rise of Gigabit services in the access network, the NetVanta
5660 can be used as part of a unified and seamless network services
framework. The solution helps to reduce the amount of physical
infrastructure in the network and deliver a clear competitive advantage
as the market for enterprise Gigabit services grows,” said Chris
Thompson, director of product management for ADTRAN’s Enterprise
Networks Division. “As enterprises look to outsource many
mission-critical applications to managed and cloud service providers,
ADTRAN is committed to helping our customers turn what is probable into
what is possible as they seek to cost-effectively grow market share and
satisfy customer need.”
