Adtran Inc Stock Price, News & Analysis

Adtran is set to showcase its FSP 3000 open line system (OLS) and coherent 100ZR+ QSFP28 transceiver at the Optical Internetworking Forum's (OIF) interoperability demonstration at OFC 2025. The demonstration, featuring 35 member companies, will highlight multi-vendor, multi-rate transport capabilities with coherent pluggable optics operating at 100Gbit/s, 400Gbit/s, and 800Gbit/s over an open, multi-span network.

The FSP 3000 OLS will transport these coherent signals across a 300km multi-span link, utilizing high-resolution flexgrid and colorless ROADMs with bidirectional inline amplifiers. The system features integrated optical monitoring and automated span equalization. Additionally, Adtran's coherent 100ZR+ QSFP28 pluggable transceiver, with 0dBm output power, will demonstrate low power consumption in a compact form factor.

Adtran (ADTN) has launched its new FSP 3000 IP OLS solution to address the growing demands of AI and data center traffic. The system combines amplification, filtering, and real-time monitoring in a compact 1RU design, offering automated operations and simplified management.

The solution features plug-and-play deployment and scalability from 400Gbit/s to 1.6Tbit/s per wavelength. Key features include:

• Zero-touch provisioning and automated span equalization
• Full-spectrum monitoring and OTDR-based fiber assurance
• Capacity for up to 8x 1.6Tbit/s in a single 1RU chassis
• Scalability up to 65 channels for larger infrastructure needs

The FSP 3000 IP OLS is offered as part of Adtran's optical-infrastructure-as-a-service, providing a turnkey approach that streamlines operations and reduces overhead.

Adtran has announced that Turin and Piedmont Internet Exchange (TOP-IX) has launched Italy's first time-as-a-service (TaaS) solution using Adtran Oscilloquartz technology. The service, developed in partnership with Italy's National Institute of Metrological Research, utilizes Oscilloquartz edge grandmaster devices across TOP-IX's fiber network.

The solution employs Adtran's OSA 5410XG and OSA 5412 grandmaster clocks, featuring multiple 10Gbit/s ports and Syncjack™ technology for real-time performance monitoring. This infrastructure provides precise timing and synchronization services to various sectors including finance, healthcare, and logistics, offering a cost-effective alternative to building private timing systems.

The service delivers a secure and reliable alternative to GNSS systems, with features including jamming and spoofing detection, multi-band GNSS receivers, and timing assurance capabilities. The implementation marks a significant advancement in Italy's digital infrastructure, enabling organizations to access precise timing services without investing in expensive dedicated systems.

ADTRAN Holdings (NASDAQ: ADTN) has announced a significant leadership change with the appointment of Timothy Santo, CPA as the new Chief Financial Officer, effective March 10, 2025. Santo will succeed Uli Dopfer, who will transition to a new role as Vice President, Finance & Administration Planning while maintaining his position on the Management Board of Adtran Networks SE.

Santo brings over 25 years of corporate finance experience, including executive positions at GE Capital, Conn's Inc., and PRA Group, Inc. He holds an MBA from the University of Rochester and is a Certified Public Accountant. The company's CEO, Tom Stanton, expressed confidence in Santo's ability to drive initiatives for cash generation and value creation, citing his expertise in simplifying complex capital structures and implementing strategic initiatives.

Adtran has expanded its Oscilloquartz timing portfolio by introducing White Rabbit technology, enabling sub-nanosecond synchronization capabilities. The enhancement is available as a software upgrade for existing Oscilloquartz grandmaster clocks, including OSA 5412, OSA 5422, OSA 5430, and OSA 5440 models.

White Rabbit extends IEEE 1588 PTP with precise delay calibration and phase tracking, achieving unprecedented timing accuracy down to picoseconds. This advancement is particularly important for industries requiring ultra-precise timing, such as:

• Metrology laboratories
• Financial institutions
• Data centers
• Research organizations

Unlike competitors requiring dedicated hardware, Adtran's implementation offers a license-based software upgrade for seamless integration into existing networks. The solution supports deployment as a master, client, or intermediary timing node, ensuring stable synchronization over fiber across multiple sites.

ADTRAN Holdings (NASDAQ: ADTN) reported preliminary Q4 2024 results with revenue of $242.9 million, up 7% sequentially and above outlook mid-point. The company achieved GAAP gross margin of 37.6% and non-GAAP gross margin of 42.0%. While reporting a GAAP diluted loss per share of $0.58, non-GAAP diluted earnings per share was $0.00.

Market conditions improved in Q4, driven by increased service provider spending, lower customer inventories, shift from high-risk vendors, and growing fiber access demand. The company expects Q1 2025 revenue between $237.5-252.5 million with non-GAAP operating margin of 0-4%, anticipating growth despite typical seasonality.

Adtran announced that Openreach has passed 8.6 million premises using its SDX optical line terminal platform, managed by Mosaic CP. This milestone highlights Openreach's rapid fiber network growth and Adtran's role in enabling high-speed broadband expansion across the UK.

Openreach has 5.2 million premises ready for service and 1 million connected customers using Adtran technology. The partnership began with Adtran's data center-inspired leaf-spine architecture, supporting Openreach's rollout that has already passed 17 million premises nationwide.

The SDX platform outperforms traditional architectures by:

• Reducing space by over 30%
• Cutting power consumption by 50% compared to previous-generation OLTs
• Supporting both GPON and XGS-PON-ready capability on the same platform
• Providing scalability from street cabinets to major exchanges

This efficiency enables faster deployment and helps Openreach maintain its ambitious fiber expansion plans across the UK.
