Adtran aims at low-density broadband applications with its new SDX 6324 optical line terminal (OLT). The new fiber access platform features four Combo PON ports, balancing cost, size and functionality.
As a compact solution, the SDX 6324 addresses the critical challenges of established, emerging and migrating WISP service providers managing small-scale FTTH deployments. The easy-to-install SDX 6324 expands Adtran’s SDX OLT product family to meet the needs of every deployment scenario, including rural communities and MDUs.
Featuring four Combo PON ports, Adtran’s SDX 6324 OLT delivers services to up to 500 subscribers. With a small upfront cost, the SDX 6324 enables the rapid expansion of fiber networks without concern about underutilized equipment capacity. By taking all the advantages of the higher-port family of SDX OLTs and incorporating them into a more cost-efficient form factor, Adtran’s SDX 6324 ensures that every community can access symmetrical, multigigit broadband services.
“Service providers often struggle with small-scale deployments,” said Andy Ruble, GM of access and aggregation for Adtran. “Finding the right technology at the right price isn’t always easy. The practice of deploying over-dimensioned solutions has challenged operators for many years. Our new SDX 6324 hits the sweet spot. It’s been engineered to help providers easily roll out fiber services to low-density environments without risk or unused capacity.”
