NORWOOD, Mass. & HUNTSVILLE, Ala.– ADTRAN, Inc.

ADTRAN, a leader in networking and communications equipment, has been recognized throughout the industry for its innovative NetVanta line of networking and IP communications solutions.

“The VON Magazine Innovator Awards recognize the Internet Communications industry’s best and brightest companies, and we are pleased to include ADTRAN as an inaugural winner,” said Bill Sell, Publisher, VON Media Group. “ADTRAN should take pride in its accomplishments, because the selection committee unanimously felt as though ADTRAN stood apart from the large field of companies that participated in the nomination process.”
“We are honored to be a recipient of the 2008 VON Magazine Innovator Award,” said Tim Saunders, vice president, product management, ADTRAN Enterprise Networks Division. “Our goal with the NetVanta 1335, which was also recently awarded The Tolly Group’s First & Foremost certification, was to simplify the deployment and ongoing support of our customers’ networking hardware, through the integration of all requirements — both wired and wireless — in a single, low cost platform.”
