Adtran has won two FTTH Innovation Awards, recognizing its leading positions in AI driven network operations and home Wi Fi.

Adtran announced that it has won two awards in the 2026 FTTH Innovation Awards, demonstrating its industry leadership in home network connectivity and AI driven network operations. The company won awards in two categories: “Active Infrastructure – Home Networks” and “Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, and Other Software”. The annual award is hosted by the European FTTH Council and aims to recognize technologies that can drive fiber deployment while improving scalability, operational efficiency, and user experience. According to the voting of guest speakers at the 2026 FTTH conference, the award reflects the recognition of industry peers for the Mosaic One Clarity and Adtran SDG 8000 and 9000 series mesh Wi Fi solutions, which are designed to address the practical deployment, performance, and operational challenges faced by service providers in expanding fiber coverage.

Christoph Glingener, Chief Technology Officer of Adtran, said, “These awards highlight the key to truly creating value in today’s fiber optic field. With Mosaic One Clarity, we use interpretable intelligent technology to help operators transform the growing network data into practical action. With the expansion and increasing dispersion of fiber optic networks, visibility alone is no longer sufficient. The operations team needs to understand the most important issues, comprehend the root causes, and quickly take the correct next steps. By embedding guided decision support directly into daily operational workflows, Mosaic One Clarity helps professional capabilities expand synchronously with the network itself. The ability to prioritize, act ahead, and operate with confidence is becoming an essential element for service providers to develop and evolve their networks.”

The award-winning technology embodies a design philosophy of achieving consistency and controllability in increasingly complex fiber optic environments. Mosaic One Clarity integrates network and user data to help operations teams identify potential root causes, prioritize the most important issues, and take guided action in multi vendor access networks and home networks. Adtran’s SDG 8000 and 9000 series complement this operational intelligence. This series of products is based on a unified SmartOS infrastructure and utilizes Intellifi ® Managed to provide a unified platform for service providers to offer multi gigabit Wi Fi services in single family homes, multi residential units (MDUs), and indoor and outdoor shared spaces. These features collectively help operators maintain predictable performance, simplify operational processes, and evolve services without adding unnecessary complexity.

Adtran’s General Manager of Strategy and Solutions, Robert Conger, commented, “It’s great to see our philosophy resonate so strongly with the FTTH community. People’s expectations for Wi Fi have fundamentally changed. Merely providing quick connections is no longer a measure. Service providers must now ensure consistent and seamless performance across the entire property, whether it is residential, apartment buildings, or shared outdoor spaces. Our SDG 8000 and 9000 series Wi Fi gateways are designed for these practical deployment scenarios, combining multi gigabit throughput with a unified software foundation and cloud visibility. This provides service providers with a repeatable way to deliver exceptional experiences, reduce operational friction, and confidently extend fiber optic services to any location customers need.”
