ADTRAN and Zzoomm accelerate 10G FTTH across the UK

Via Adtran Investor News & Events

Mar 7, 2019

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ADTRAN, Inc., the leading provider of next-generation open networking and subscriber experience solutions, today announced Zzoomm, a new fibre network operator, has selected ADTRAN as its technology partner to build a 10G FTTH network to serve suburbs and towns across the United Kingdom.

Currently, there are 30 million homes and businesses in the U.K., but only two million have access to fibre networks and the high-speed broadband services they deliver. Zzoomm recently announced the official launch of its full fibre network and will begin construction this summer with the goal to connect one million of these previously underserved properties over the next five years. This 10Gbps service-capable network will afford these communities access to the most advanced residential and business applications available now and into the foreseeable future.

The operator is specifically targeting its services to suburbs of major cities, including London, as well as towns and smaller cities across the U.K. These communities are currently underserved by existing operators using copper-based infrastructure. Zzoomm will leverage the ADTRAN 10G fibre access platform with XGS-PON to support a highly-economical, symmetric 10Gbps service delivery solution at competitive broadband price-points.

“Zzoomm’s goal is to connect our subscribers with the services needed to work, learn and play when and where they want. To accomplish that, we need a technology partner that is keen to understand our business and what we need to meet our goals,” Zzoomm Chief Executive Matthew Hare said. "ADTRAN makes us feel like a valued customer, while also providing the expertise to help us build a strong 10G network foundation that will support the broadband requirements of these areas now and decades into the future.”

“ADTRAN is enabling operators across Europe, like Zzoomm, to make significant progress in connecting homes and businesses to advanced services that enhance subscriber experience and quality of life,” ADTRAN Chief Technology Officer for EMEA and APAC Ronan Kelly said. “Our collaboration with Zzoomm to build a 10Gbps service-capable network is another proof-point that the market is choosing 10G PON technology over the previous FTTP solutions deployed over the past decades.”
