News summary:
- Telstra is responding to enterprise demand for cost-effective,
space-efficient and environmentally sustainable solutions
- Partnership with Adtran and Red Hat is unlocking extra value in
existing customer premises equipment
- Test solution built on Adtran FSP 150 boosts network security
and offers significant savings for Telstra customers
Adtran today announced that Telstra has successfully trialed its
FSP 150 edge compute device, opening the door to enhanced network
services for business customers across Australia. By incorporating
Red Hat’s OpenShift software directly onto Adtran’s hosting
platform, Telstra succeeded in facilitating the efficient
management and operation of small applications right at the device
edge. The solution will enable multiple applications to run on a
single device, reducing the need for additional hardware
investments. This approach will empower businesses to derive new
value from their existing hardware, leading to a reduction in
inventory sprawl and power usage, and making operations more
environmentally friendly. The collaboration shows the potential for
Telstra customers to benefit from operational efficiency gains
while also delivering enhanced control over network security and
data usage.

“This initiative pushes the boundaries of how device edge
capabilities will enhance the way businesses operate, helping them
do more with less and generate more value from existing hardware,”
said Channa Seneviratne, technology development and innovation
executive at Telstra. “Alongside simplification, this trial
demonstrates how we can enable a more distributed and intelligent
network with better resiliency, performance and workload
distribution. It’s another step forward in our ambition to unlock
more value for customers and continue to drive technology
leadership.”
Telstra’s successful trial of Red Hat’s Linux-based OS and
OpenShift Container Platform on Adtran FSP 150 devices makes it
possible to leverage new capabilities from hardware already sitting
in customers’ networks. This approach boosts value, reduces
additional investment needs and enhances operational efficiency.
Hosting applications at the network edge also brings about stronger
security, better data management and improved network reliability,
all while streamlining the deployment and management of
applications. What’s more, the strategy promotes innovation and
equips businesses to adapt to future technological changes and
market demands. The edge hosting device utilized in the trial was
the FSP 150-XG304u, which is powered by a robust Intel Xeon D
processor. Offering substantial bandwidth and processing power,
it’s ideal for hosting multiple revenue-generating applications at
the edge.
“Together with Telstra and Red Hat, we’re helping transform
traditional edge hardware into versatile devices capable of running
multiple applications. By enabling operators like Telstra to host
VNFs directly at the network edge, we’re optimizing response times
and reducing the need for extensive backhaul bandwidth, leading to
significant energy and opex savings. Bringing cloud capabilities to
the edge also eliminates the need for additional network elements
and extra space at the customer premises, ensuring a more
streamlined and cost-efficient infrastructure,” commented Anthony
Camilleri, APAC CTO at Adtran. “Our FSP 150 Series merges top-tier
Carrier Ethernet functionality with the flexibility of open hosting
for edge cloud applications. This empowers operators to provide
reliable business-class data services alongside innovative end-user
services, all within a single carrier-class device.”
