Adtran Inc Stock Price, News & Analysis

Adtran (ADTN) and Netomnia have achieved a significant milestone with the UK's first commercial deployment of 50G PON service. The deployment utilizes Adtran's SDX 6400 Series platform to upgrade an existing residential customer's connectivity. Netomnia, the UK's second-largest alternative network provider, currently serves 2.4 million premises through its YouFibre and brsk brands, connecting 310,000 customers.

The company is expanding rapidly with an annual build rate of one million premises and aims to reach 5 million serviceable premises by 2027. Netomnia has secured £1.5 billion in funding for its expansion. The deployment demonstrates how 50G PON technology can be implemented over existing infrastructure without service disruption, supporting future residential services, enterprise access, mobile transport, and smart city applications.

ADTRAN Holdings (NASDAQ: ADTN) has announced the postponement of its 2025 annual meeting of stockholders, originally scheduled for May 14, 2025.

Highland Broadband has transformed internet connectivity in Halkirk, Scotland, previously the UK's slowest broadband location with speeds of just 2.8Mbit/s, using Adtran's XGS-PON fiber technology. The new network delivers Gigabit speeds up to 10Gbit/s to homes and businesses.

The deployment features Adtran's 631 ONTs and 8733 Wi-Fi 7 residential gateways for whole-home coverage, alongside AI-driven Mosaic One software for remote monitoring and optimization. This transformation demonstrates that rural fiber expansion is both achievable and commercially viable, providing a blueprint for bringing digital inclusion to underserved communities.

Adtran (ADTN) has partnered with 6WIND to deliver virtual broadband network gateway (vBNG) and virtual carrier-grade NAT (vCGNAT) solutions, integrating them into Adtran's Mosaic software suite. This collaboration enables service providers to replace expensive hardware-based BNGs with a scalable, software-driven alternative.

The solution runs as a virtual machine on commercial off-the-shelf servers, supporting key functions like RADIUS authentication, CGNAT, and dynamic routing. The partnership builds on previous collaboration that has already delivered over 12,000 6WIND routers as the Ensemble vRouter.

The integrated solution offers:

• Non-blocking BNG performance at multigigabit speeds
• Automated provisioning and subscriber monitoring
• Scalability from small networks to millions of subscribers
• Lower operational costs compared to traditional hardware

Adtran has secured two FTTH Innovation Awards at the FTTH Conference 2025 for its groundbreaking fiber technologies. The company's SDX 6405 optical line terminal (OLT) won in the 'Active infrastructure – central network' category, while its ALM fiber monitoring platform was recognized in the 'Installation equipment, tools, test & measurement instruments' category.

The SDX 6405 OLT supports simultaneous GPON, XGS-PON, and 50G PON on each port, enabling seamless network scaling and multigigabit services delivery over a single fiber. Its modular design allows providers to gradually expand 50G capabilities without disrupting existing infrastructure.

The ALM platform introduces deep PON assurance capability, providing real-time, in-service monitoring across the optical plant without requiring demarcation reflectors. This innovation helps operators detect and resolve issues proactively, improving service reliability while reducing operational costs.
