The program is expected to allocate $20.4 billion over a period of 10 years and will enable service providers to deliver low-priced broadband services to communities that are deprived of high-speed Internet access. The company has already started the RDOF Phase 1 short-form application process, which will cater to nearly 5.5 million customers with broadband speeds of at least 25 Mbps. Depending on a variety of location topologies, ADTRAN provides a plethora of RDOF-compliant access solutions to address the networking requirements of each performance tier — Fiber-to-the-Premise solutions, Fixed Wireless solutions powered by LTE-based technology and Fiber-to-the-Node solutions. ADTRAN has collaborated with more than 500 service providers over the last decade to serve nearly 100 million customers. The company has an in-depth understanding of the challenging environment operators face in resourcing broadband access networks.
