ADTRAN, Inc. Employer Profile

ADTRAN, Inc. designs, develops, and manufactures ADvanced TRANsmission products for high-speed digital communications. Incorporated in 1985, ADTRAN began operations in 1986 following AT&T's divestiture of the Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs) with restrictions that effectively barred their manufacturing of equipment. These events created an opportunity for companies such as ADTRAN to supply network equipment to the seven RBOCs as well as more than 1,300 independent telephone companies in the United States.

Having firmly established a leading position with our Telco products, ADTRAN adapted that technology for use by end-users which earned ADTRAN a growing share of the customer premises equipment (CPE) market. Both our Telco and CPE product lines have produced rapid, profitable growth, resulting in our being selected as a NASDAQ 100 Index stock by the NASDAQ Stock Market.

With over a million ADTRAN-based local loops operating worldwide, we have become a leading supplier of Digital Data Service (DDS), Frame Relay, Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), T1, T3, and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) digital loop products. These products are sold to all RBOCs, most of the domestic independent Telcos, a large number of corporate end-users, and a growing number of international customers. In addition, we provide custom-designed products for many well-known original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

ADTRAN is headquartered in Huntsville, Alabama, with sales offices strategically located throughout the United States. We sell our products through a network of domestic and international value added resellers and distributors, and are aggressively augmenting those world-wide resources.

ADTRAN, Inc. is committed to utilize Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), Woman-Owned Business Enterprises (WBE) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE) whenever possible and practical for procurements supporting ADTRAN and our customers.

We welcome inquires from potential suppliers and will explore all opportunities that can support the MBE/WBE/DVBE goals. Contact Claudette Webb, MBE/WBE/DVBE Coordinator at (256) 963-8681 or e-mail cwebb@adtran.com.
