Smart city initiative is powered by Adtran's fiber access technology for GPON connectivity with future XGS-PON expansion
Network improves public services, enhances safety infrastructure and provides businesses and residents with choice in connectivity options
MORROW, Ga., May 08, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Adtran today announced that eCommunity™ Fiber is leveraging its fiber access platform to power the City of Morrow's smart city initiative. This open-access deployment provides high-speed connectivity to municipal services, businesses and residents, enabling advanced public safety applications and future-ready broadband services. By leveraging Adtran's technology, eCommunity™ Fiber is ensuring that the city benefits from a robust and scalable closed-loop broadband infrastructure. The deployment will also support government operations and create a foundation for additional smart city services, improving overall efficiency and accessibility for the community.
"Our partnership with Adtran is central to our vision of delivering next-generation infrastructure to the City of Morrow," said Rodney Gray, CTO of eCommunity™ Fiber. "Adtran's fiber access solution enables us to support both municipal WAN applications and enterprise-class connectivity while also laying the groundwork for future broadband expansion. This network gives Morrow the flexibility to adapt as connectivity demands grow, ensuring businesses and residents have reliable, high-speed options. By embracing open-access fiber, we're supporting competition among service providers, which leads to better pricing and improved service quality for everyone in the community."
The carrier-neutral solution provides the connectivity backbone for a range of smart city services to enhance Morrow's public safety and accessibility. High-speed GPON connectivity is being delivered to key municipal sites, including libraries, civic centers and other community spaces. This supports services such as public Wi-Fi and advanced surveillance systems while also enabling Ethernet connectivity for local business operations. Designed with future growth in mind, the network can scale to meet rising bandwidth demands through a planned upgrade path to XGS-PON, helping Morrow stay ahead as technology needs evolve across public services, education and local enterprise.
"eCommunity™ Fiber's smart city initiative in Morrow is a testament to the power of open fiber networks," commented Jeremy Harris, VP of North America sales at Adtran. "With our platform, eCommunity™ Fiber is delivering flexible, future-ready broadband that supports everything from public safety to digital transformation for local businesses. Our technology ensures a smooth transition to next-generation services, enabling the city to remain at the forefront of connectivity advancements. Unlike many municipal broadband projects, Morrow's smart city network is privately funded, ensuring long-term sustainability and adaptability. With Adtran's technology, eCommunity™ Fiber is establishing a robust infrastructure that will improve public services and drive economic growth across the region, creating a blueprint for other cities looking to modernize their digital infrastructure."
