ADTRAN Chief Executive Officer Tom Stanton stated, "In the third quarter, our growth categories continued to perform well, achieving 20% year over year growth and posting another record revenue level. Broadband Access revenues grew 29% as we saw increasing acceptance of our Carrier Ethernet and Broadband services platforms. Optical Access revenues showed impressive strength growing 20% as carriers increased investment in wireless bandwidth upgrades.

Two of these areas set record revenue levels and our growth areas in total achieved a new high."
