Press Release Body = HUNTSVILLE, Ala.-- (June 19, 2007)--ADTRAN, Inc.
(NASDAQ: ADTN), a leading supplier of next-generation service delivery solutions,
today announced an innovative solution to enable carriers to instantly deliver
multi-megabit business data services across their entire service area. Unlike other
solutions requiring large investment, ADTRAN's FastBreak allows carriers to leverage
their existing business services infrastructure, whether it is SONET/SDH, DS1/E1 or
HDSL. ADTRAN's FastBreak technology provides ubiquitous Ethernet service delivery
across the entire network. All of this is provided from a single platform, the
ADTRAN Total Access 5000, by introducing two new applications - Ethernet over Copper
(EoCu) and Ethernet over TDM.

"Businesses require more bandwidth today, so carriers must find an economical means
to migrate from Frame Relay or ATM to Ethernet to meet this demand. The vast
majority of business sites will be using copper access for the foreseeable future,"
said Michael Howard, principal analyst and founder, Infonetics Research. "The ADTRAN
FastBreak solution allows service providers to greatly improve Ethernet service time
to market, since carriers can deliver next-generation services to an entire region
by leveraging the ubiquitous TDM and copper business service infrastructure."

"With a single, centralized ADTRAN Total Access 5000 and the FastBreak solution,
service providers can finally deliver next-generation business services to their
entire customer base with minimal capital and operational investment," said Eric
Vallone director of Product Management, ADTRAN Carrier Networks Division. "This
provides carriers with instant network-wide footprint of multi-megabit Ethernet by
leveraging the most understood and successful business-class transport solution
today, DS1/E1. This greatly simplifies the back office and operational aspects of
launching a next-generation Ethernet service.

To meet the requirements of this application, the Ethernet capabilities of the
ADTRAN Total Access 5000 Multi-Service Access and Aggregation Platform (MSAP)
deliver high-density EoCu access in accordance with Ethernet in the First Mile (EFM)
standards and are complemented by the FastBreak solution using bonding techniques
for Ethernet over TDM. ADTRAN's 800 Series devices terminate the full suite of
business class DSL technologies at the customer premises for the delivery of
Ethernet bandwidth. ADTRAN's EoCu solutions including FastBreak are equally
supported on the recently announced ADTRAN Total Access 5006 which is a small,
chassis-based system that is part of the ADTRAN Total Access 5000 MSAP family.
ADTRAN has also provided enhanced diagnostic and performance management features
that improve circuit turn-up and troubleshooting enabling service level assurances
(SLAs).
