"In the third quarter, our growth categories continued to perform well, achieving 20 percent year over year growth and posting another record revenue level," said Adtran CEO Tom Stanton. "Broadband Access revenues grew 29 percent as we saw increasing acceptance of our Carrier Ethernet and Broadband services platforms. Optical Access revenues showed strength growing 20 percent as carriers increased investment in wireless bandwidth upgrades. Internetworking revenues continued to expand as our success in this area continued to reflect the broad-based support we are seeing in our carrier distribution and value added reseller channels. Two of these areas set record revenue levels and our growth areas in total achieved a new high."
