Adtran expands Oscilloquartz PNT platform for enhanced protection of critical timing networks

Businesswire | May 18, 2023

Adtran launched a major upgrade of its Oscilloquartz aPNT+™ technology suite, bringing new levels of resilience to critical network infrastructure that relies on position, navigation and timing (PNT) services. With enhancements to its core, edge and access synchronization solutions, the portfolio provides operators of telecommunications, financial networks, power grids, defense infrastructure and more with the best available protection against GNSS vulnerabilities and cyberattacks. Adtran’s timing technology now leverages more sources of accurate and reliable timing and features new capabilities to detect disturbances and assure vital PNT services. “From 5G connectivity to air traffic control, accurate and reliable PNT services are crucial for the safety, efficiency and optimal performance of a wide range of modern applications. That’s why the enhancements we’ve made to our aPNT+™ platform are so significant. These include improved jamming and spoofing detection using a unique, highly advanced, dedicated algorithm to ensure maximum resilience against any intentional or unintentional interference,” said Igal Pinhasov, VP of product line management at Oscilloquartz, Adtran. “Our upgraded portfolio is a significant step up for critical network timing. It provides unparalleled precision and reliability even in the most challenging environments, including situations where GNSS is disrupted for extended periods.” Adtran’s OSA 5401 and 5405 access network synchronization solutions now feature the same advanced jamming and spoofing detection capabilities as its core and edge products. Additionally, the OSA 5405-MB, a compact and integrated outdoor multi-band GNSS receiver and PTP grandmaster, has been upgraded with improved multi-band capabilities. As well as satellite constellations, including GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and GALILEO, it now supports the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS). This is critical for mobile network operators in the subcontinent, as the Indian government has ruled that smartphones must be compatible with the country’s home-grown GNSS system. Furthermore, the solution now utilizes a combination of L1 and L5 band signals to better mitigate disruption caused by environmental factors. “Enhanced NTP functionality is another feature that makes our upgraded aPNT+™ platform even more powerful. Our standalone NTP servers can now support up to 500,000 transactions per second, providing unique NTP performance. This level of transaction handling is a significant advantage against DDoS attacks,” commented Gil Biran, GM of Oscilloquartz, Adtran. “Our core and edge grandmaster clocks are also more resilient than ever. With our multi-source ePRTC combiner, they can leverage up to five independent timing sources, which can include up to three high-performance optical cesium atomic clocks, to create a single super-resilient and highly reliable clock source. Customers can select from GNSS constellations, PTP inputs, and alternative PNT sources such as STL, which uses low Earth orbit satellites, or the terrestrial-based eLORAN. Both offer extra protection against jamming and spoofing attacks while extending the 100nsec holdover period.” About Adtran ADTRAN Holdings, Inc. is the parent company of Adtran, Inc., a leading global provider of open, disaggregated networking and communications solutions that enable voice, data, video and internet communications across any network infrastructure. From the cloud edge to the subscriber edge, Adtran empowers communications service providers around the world to manage and scale services that connect people, places and things.

Windstream Enterprise Invests in VoIP Network Upgrade to Microsoft Azure for Operators Clustered Call Feature Server

businesswire | May 03, 2023

Windstream Enterprise, a leading IT managed network provider, today announced it has fully migrated its leading Voice over IP (VoIP) platform to Microsoft’s Azure for Operators clustered Call Feature Server (cCFS). This upgrade is the latest in an ongoing series of investments that Windstream Enterprise has made to enhance the value of its cloud-based communications services provided to customers. VoIP is an IP-based unified communications infrastructure that combines separate voice and data channels into a single, cloud-based connection to optimize network performance with stable voice quality, survivability and feature standardization across multiple locations. This investment made by Windstream Enterprise gives its Dynamic IP and Unified Communications (UC) customers greater reliability, access to new communications and integrated data and voice features to support their businesses, and a more robust portal to deliver a consistently positive user experience. The collaboration with Microsoft expands upon Windstream Enterprise’s Dynamic IP solution, a VoIP platform that supports multiple call paths—analog, SIP turning and PRI—and allows customers to leverage their existing network infrastructure with flexible bandwidth. In doing so, the solution ensures multiple levels of redundancies that help businesses run smoothly and prevent unplanned downtime via network outages, human or system error, or cyberthreats. The solution also enhances the user experience by seamlessly integrating with Windstream Enterprise’s award-winning WE Connect customer portal, enabling clients to self-manage their network and communications needs, data and assets—all in a single-pane-of-glass view. “In this hyper-connected world, businesses require failproof, reliable voice and data solutions. With this move to the Microsoft Azure for Operators VoIP platform, we are ensuring customers are on the most advanced, leading-edge technology so they can unlock their own revenue and profitability potential,” said Art Nichols, chief technology officer, Windstream Enterprise. “This investment is about giving our customers the technology, support and constant innovation they must have to drive their businesses forward.” Voice solutions have significantly advanced beyond legacy underlying access technology like Time Division Multiplexing (TDM), DS1 and DS3 Access solutions and copper-based services, such as primary rate interfaces (PRIs) and plain old telephone services (POTS). These solutions no longer support the basic necessities of modern business communications and the need to collaborate remotely both internally and with customers. With Dynamic IP, businesses can seamlessly scale their communications with minimal or no additional infrastructure investment. As a managed service, Dynamic IP is set up and run by Windstream Enterprise, and backed by a dedicated team of technology experts to provide strategic planning, design and 24/7 support. Windstream Enterprise customers are already taking advantage of the streamlined integration between Azure for Operators offerings and Windstream Enterprise for seamless collaboration across both voice and data solutions. Banking, education, retailers, government and healthcare providers, among other businesses, are leveraging Windstream Enterprise’s proprietary software solutions, which include the robust Secure Access Security Edge (SASE) and Security Service Edge (SSE) cybersecurity offerings. “Cloud-ready voice and data integrations are essential for almost all businesses operating in our hybrid workplace and always-on world,” said Austin Herrington, vice president, product management, Windstream Enterprise. “Our cost-effective, scalable VoIP and UC solutions give customers all the features they want, along with ironclad security and reliability. By aligning with technology providers like Microsoft, we can keep our customers moving toward their goals by helping them get out from underneath burdensome legacy technology.” “By using the Microsoft Azure for Operators clustered Call Feature Server to underpin its VoIP and UC solutions, Windstream Enterprise is demonstrating its commitment to extending customers a flexible, secure, and modern suite of carrier grade communications solutions,” said Tad Brockway, corporate vice president, Microsoft Azure for Operators. About Windstream Windstream Holdings is a privately held communications and software company. Windstream offers managed communications services, including SD-WAN and UCaaS, and high-capacity bandwidth and transport services to businesses across the U.S. The company also provides premium broadband, entertainment and security services through an enhanced fiber network to consumers and small and midsize businesses primarily in rural areas in 18 states.
