Case Study: Jackson Energy Authority achieves gigabit broadband growth with ADTRAN

Jackson Energy Authority - Customer Case Study

Jackson Energy Authority (JEA), a major utility provider in Tennessee, needed to upgrade its extensive fiber-to-the-home network to provide faster, more reliable gigabit services. This was essential to remain competitive, attract new businesses to the community, and meet the increasing bandwidth demands of its 30,000 customers. To address this challenge, JEA selected the ADTRAN Gigabit Services Architecture.

ADTRAN provided the flexible and scalable infrastructure JEA needed to successfully deploy its gigabit services. The solution enabled JEA to extend its network reach and simplify maintenance while ensuring high performance. As a result, the upgrade is stimulating innovation and economic growth in Jackson, allowing a local surgeon to use enhanced 3D printing for medical devices and empowering educational institutions and a new entrepreneurial center with next-generation connectivity.
