HUNTSVILLE, Ala.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- ADTRAN^® , Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), the leading provider of next-generation open networking solutions, today announced at its 2018 CONNECT Press & Analyst Event its NetAssure Program as part of its growing Consulting Services. Designed to help lower the operational costs of managing and expanding the range and reach of today’s access networks infrastructures, it is quickly becoming a key part of ADTRAN’s ongoing engagement model with its customers.

Today’s market has a rapidly growing set of players looking to offer next-generation Gigabit services including large incumbent service providers, cable operators, rural carriers, as well as the emerging set of utilities and municipalities beginning to offer ultra-broadband and multi-Gigabit services to business and residential customers.

The NetAssure Program includes:
