CT Increases Bandwidth 30x with ADTRAN Platform in Ohio

HUNTSVILLE, AL - CT Communications has increased the throughput of its high-speed broadband services by more than 30 times by leveraging Total Access broadband platform from ADTRAN. Optimized for premium services, Total Access 5000 has enabled CT Communications to deliver a full range of next-generation services, like IPTV with full SD, HD and DVR capabilities, over both copper and fiber architectures for residential and business customers in western Ohio.

CT Communications’ previous network equipment solution only allowed subscribers 1.5 Mbps Internet download speeds and no video capabilities. After deploying the Total Access 5000, bandwidth service speeds have significantly increased with some customers having the ability to experience download speeds up to 50 Mbps using the latest generation of copper technology, VDSL2.

On the fiber side, ADTRAN’s Total Access 5000 also offers CT Communications a high-capacity optical Ethernet access network that easily scales to handle the most bandwidth intensive services, enabling CT Communications to support compelling customer applications requiring 1 Gbps upload and download speeds. This flexible point-to-point Active Ethernet architecture allows CT Communications to provide a more diverse product offer for both their premium residential and business services, increasing their overall services revenue potential.

“Our previous service speeds put us at a disadvantage in the marketplace, but now we are able to deliver competitive products and services to our customers by utilizing reliable, next-generation technology,” said Tim Bolander, CTO at CT Communications.
