NORWOOD, Mass. & HUNTSVILLE, Ala.-- ADTRAN, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADTN), a leading supplier
of next-generation network solutions, today announced that it has received a 2008
VON Magazine Innovator Award, the foremost listing of innovative companies
representing the future of the Internet Communications industry.

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 NetVanta 1335 Multiservice Access Router is one of the
newest additions to the NetVanta family. This is a unique device that integrates an
IP access router, an 802.11 a/b/g wireless access point, 24 port Layer 2/3 Power
over Ethernet (PoE) switch, firewall and Virtual Private Network (VPN) in a single
platform. It also features RapidRouteT technology, which delivers the enhanced
performance necessary for IP communications when advanced services like Quality of
Service (QoS), Network Address Translation (NAT) and firewall protection are
enabled.

"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."

ADTRAN will feature the NetVanta 1335 along with the NetVanta 7100 IP Communications
Platform and members of the NetVanta router, switch and IP Business Gateway families
at Spring VON.x, March 18-19 in booth #229.
