Solution Brief
ORCHESTRATING SUCCESS
IN A CHANGING WORLD
TECHNOLOGY, EXPERIENCE, PARTNERSHIP
Telecommunications is Rapidly Changing
ADTRAN’s Orchestration Solution
Gigabit bandwidth to the home and business, the rapid
adoption of OTT video, the Internet of Things, and SDN/NFV
are transforming the way Service Providers do business.
Software-driven, API-centric architectures will dominate
the services delivery infrastructure, and a superior customer
experience remains among the highest priorities for the
successful Service Provider. ADTRAN has the technology,
people, and industry recognized dedication to customer
service and the user experience to deliver effective
telecommunications solutions in this changing and
exciting environment.
ADTRAN’s Orchestration Solutions enable the softwaredriven networks of the future by combining technology
with our vast domain knowledge to provide solutions that
deliver on the promises of CAPEX and OPEX savings along
with a superior customer experience.
A Different Approach to Service Delivery
Traditional network architectures are giving way to a
radically different approach to service delivery:
• Wire centers (Central Offices) are rapidly becoming
data centers.
• Networks are becoming software-driven and API-centric,
shifting from closed, vendor-specific systems to open
reference designs, leveraging open source software
components.
• Open ecosystems and solutions have become the focus,
allowing best-in-breed technology choice.
• The need for an environment capable of rapid change for
service creation, modification, technology substitution
and introduction is imperative. Communicating with other
ecosystem components through simplified and modern
interfaces facilitates a rapid response environment.
ADTRAN’S Orchestration and
Automation Solutions
Service Providers are very familiar with Automation in
terms of flow through provisioning, software updates,
alarm management and network monitoring. These
existing systems suffer from a number of challenges:
Proprietary or complex interfaces, expensive
to modify.
n
Autonomous or not easily integrated with other
ecosystem components or used across multiple
organizations.
n
Not easily adaptable to new technologies, services,
or processes.
n
ADTRAN’s Orchestration combines structural business
and operational components with these independent
automated tasks in a logical manner to establish an
end-to-end workflow—a higher order automation
more closely aligned to the business operation.

A Different Approach
ADTRAN recognizes these challenges and
provides solutions through Orchestration not
only to reduce or eliminate these challenges but
SAVE OPEX, CAPEX and potentially establish new
revenue streams.
Automation
ADTRAN’s Service Activation Automation provides
a cohesive end-to-end service activation workflow
through straightforward APIs and operational
logic. This model provides instantaneous service
activation for homes and businesses, allowing
customers to attach to the network and choose
their services independently, eliminating the time
and coordination required of traditional approaches.
Service and inventory 100% accuracy is assured in
Activation Automation because the network reports
how it is provisioned to the OSS and BSS systems.
