Pulse Fibre Adopt 10Gbps Adtran Tech for UK Full Fibre Broadband Build

London-based alternative broadband ISP Pulse Fibre, which over the next few years aspires to complete over 250,000 unique “full fibre” (FTTP) connections into new build homes and MDUs (here), has announced that they’ve chosen Adtran’s 10Gbps speed capable XGS-PON equipment and services to support their deployment.

The deployment features Adtran’s Optical Network Terminals (ONT / ONU), which are the optical modems that get installed inside your home, and their software-defined optical line terminals (OLT), such as the SDX 6320 equipment, which are being underpinned by the Mosaic Cloud Platform (Mosaic CP).

“This collaboration with Adtran is a key step in our mission to deliver fast, reliable broadband to new housing developments across the UK. With Adtran’s compact, energy-efficient technology, we’re enabling connectivity during the building process through our Construction Mode, allowing developers to seamlessly integrate smart infrastructure,” said Robert Buckingham, operations director at Pulse Fibre. “For residents, we provide day one connectivity, supporting work-from-home and smart home needs.”

Quite a few UK broadband operators, including major players like Openreach, also make use of Adtran’s equipment. Finally, Adtran and Pulse Fibre have produced a new video about the announcement.
