ADTRAN Delivers Triple-Play Services for Matanuska Telephone Association

HUNTSVILLE, AL - Matanuska Telephone Association, a rural telco in southern central Alaska, selected ADTRAN's broadband portfolio for voice, high-speed data, IPTV and Carrier Ethernet services throughout its coverage region.

"As a service provider in a very competitive market, the ability to add new and advanced services easily can be the difference between growing our business or handing it over to the competition," says Eric Anderson, vice president of engineering and planning for Matanuska Telephone Association. "As with many service providers, our network had several vendors' equipment installed, supporting different applications. ADTRAN is allowing us to transition to a single platform for all access needs, which saves capital as well as operational expenses."

According to ADTRAN, the initial deployments were focused on the delivery of voice, high-speed data and IPTV services, followed by FTTP for delivery of high-bandwidth services for schools and residential customers.
