Adtran recently announced that it won two FTTH Innovation Awards at the 2025 FTTH Conference. Primarily recognized were the company’s SDX 6405 optical line terminal (OLT) and ALM fiber monitoring platform which are described in a Fiber Broadband Association article as “standout technologies supporting next-generation fiber networks”.
These annual awards spotlight innovations that accelerate fiber broadband rollouts while also improving scalability for the future, operational efficiency, and user experience. Adtran received awards in the categories “Active infrastructure – central network” and “Installation equipment, tools, test & measurement instruments”.
“We’re honored to receive this recognition at the FTTH Conference. It’s a fantastic achievement for our team and a validation of the vision that’s guided our work: to help service providers build fiber networks that are open, scalable and ready for what comes next,” said Christoph Glingener, CTO of Adtran. “These wins reflect the dedication and expertise across our organization – from engineering to product to field support – and the close partnerships we’ve built with customers to solve real deployment challenges. Whether it’s enabling a future-proof transition to 50G PON or delivering affordable, real-time visibility into the access network, we’re focused on giving operators the tools to grow efficiently, improve reliability and stay ahead of demand.”
“These two awards recognize technologies that are solving critical challenges in access networks – from scaling bandwidth to ensuring new levels of service reliability,” commented Robert Conger, GM of software platforms and strategy at Adtran. “With 50G PON, we’re enabling a new generation of services that demand ultra-fast, highly reliable connectivity – whether that’s AI workloads, immersive experiences or industrial automation. At the same time, it delivers lower-speed services like 1G and 10G far more efficiently, helping operators simplify their access infrastructure and maximize return on investment. And with deep PON assurance, we’re giving operators the visibility they need to maintain those services at scale. It’s about building the foundation for sustainable, high-performance broadband that can evolve with demand.”
