Our services combined with market leading access and software solutions have enabled us to expand our range and reach into new opportunities that show promise for both short and long-term growth. We are pleased with our progress and the market reception to ADTRAN Mosaic and our SD-Access portfolio as Tier 1 operators around the world prepare for the transition to SDN. With our focus on software innovation and domain expertise, ADTRAN is uniquely positioned to enable internet service providers of all types to meet increasing customer demand and decrease their time to market for next generation services.”
