ACE Fiber’s network leverages Adtran’s FSP 3000 open optical transport technology for its future-proof middle-mile infrastructure, connecting Alcorn County with the city of New Albany.

By extending high-speed broadband to previously underserved regions, they’re creating new opportunities for households and businesses to thrive,” commented Jeremy Harris, VP of North America service provider sales at Adtran. “We’re proud that our end-to-end solution is empowering ACE Fiber to address this challenge. With our FSP 3000 enabling high-capacity links and our SDX 600 ONTs and Wi-Fi 6/7 SDGs delivering fast, seamless internet to homes, ACE Fiber is reshaping New Albany’s digital landscape. By utilizing ALM in-service fiber monitoring and Mosaic One for streamlined management, they’re ensuring the high-quality services essential for education, healthcare and remote work.
