ADTRAN Inc. (NASDAQ:ADTN) says that Peetz Cooperative Telephone Co., an independent telephone cooperative serving rural Colorado, will leverage ADTRAN’s Total Access 5000 Multi-Service Access and Aggregation Platform (MSAP) in its broadband stimulus project.
Peetz Cooperative Telephone received the first announced broadband stimulus award to fund the project. The company serves a 196 square mile exchange in the northeast corner of Colorado and has been in operation since 1918.
“We needed a highly flexible and scalable access platform that would not only meet the needs of today, but allow us to continue to deliver state-of-the-art services well into the future – ADTRAN’s Total Access 5000 was the perfect fit,” said Brent Davis, Peetz Cooperative Telephone. “Not only does the Total Access 5000 protect our investment by giving us the ability to add bandwidth as needed with virtually unlimited backplane capacity, but ADTRAN stands behind its products with superior warranties and outstanding support.”
