Adtran today announced that Sertex Broadband Solutions, a fiber deployment expert in the US Northeast, is utilizing its Mosaic One solution to bring high-speed fiber connectivity to the remote community of New Shoreham on Block Island.

Using Adtran’s TA5000 Combo PON optical line terminals, Sertex has the capacity needed to enable ultra-fast, symmetrical multigigabit services with support for both GPON and XGS-PON. Adtran’s scalable optical network terminals ensure the seamless flow of reliable, high-speed internet services to the customers’ connected devices. Inside the premises, Adtran’s Gigabit-capable service delivery gateways provide high-performance Wi-Fi in every room. All of this is tied together with Adtran’s Mosaic One management solution for remote configuration and improved network performance.

“Utilizing our Mosaic One solution, Sertex is bridging the digital divide on Block Island, opening up whole new opportunities for residents, businesses and visitors. Instrumental in this transformation are the remote configuration capabilities of our Mosaic One solution, which are not only reducing the need for truck rolls but also ensuring more streamlined, efficient and responsive network operations,” commented John Scherzinger, GM of Americas sales at Adtran. “From enhancing connectivity for tourists to providing residents and businesses with high-performance broadband, we’re proud to be a part of transforming the online experience for Block Island.”
