ADTRAN Inc. has announced that the University of North Alabama (UNA) has deployed ADTRAN's NetVanta Unified Communications (UC) solution for a campus-wide network migration from TDM to IP. By deploying ADTRAN's open-architecture NetVanta UC, the university was able to leverage its existing infrastructure as the base for its migration to advanced UC services, saving significant cost and time, as well as preserving the capital value of their existing network. With NetVanta UC deployed, UNA can select the appropriate feature set and scale to support thousands of current users and, when needed, easily extend their reach and service portfolio to meet future communication demands.
Stephen Putman, Interim Director, Computer & Telecommunication Services, University of North Alabama said, "UNA needed a reliable solution to support our communication needs today and in the future and ADTRAN's proven stability and continued innovation made it the right partner. NetVanta UC has provided UNA with an affordable solution on which we can update our entire, campus-wide communications network to provide higher-quality communications services and the means to easily expand the deployment as needed as our campus grows."
Jeff Wissing, NetVanta UC Product Manager, Enterprise Networks Division, ADTRAN said, "NetVanta UC is an ideal solution for campus environments, like UNA, that are looking to upgrade or move away from aging TDM-based technologies and serve their staff, faculty, students and guests with next-generation communications capabilities. By selecting NetVanta UC, UNA has taken the necessary steps to migrate its network to IP and can rest easy knowing those steps are backed by a strong product, extensive feature set, the dedication of our service and support departments, and ADTRAN's continued commitment to product excellence."
