"Today’s business and residential subscribers alike are seeking faster speeds. They want to unlock the potential of previously out-of-reach applications. The capacity and flexibility of our new network mean we can comfortably meet those demands. While our competitors race to deliver a Gig, we’re leapfrogging them to provide our customers with connections up to 10Gbit/s," said Andrew DeMattia, co-CEO of Talkie Communications. "The constant support of the Adtran team has been key to the success of our rollout, helping us bring high-speed services to previously inaccessible locations. Our close collaboration delivers exceptional value and opens the door to new digital possibilities."
Talkie Communications’ new full-fiber infrastructure leverages Adtran’s TA5000 for the delivery of high-bandwidth services.
