About this company

This is the registered UK entity for what now trades globally as Adtran Networks SE, following the combination of ADVA Optical Networking with Adtran. The wider group designs optical networking and fibre-broadband equipment, including optical line systems, terminals, pluggable optics, aggregation switches and routers, and network management and monitoring tools, serving cable operators, service providers, enterprises, financial institutions and utilities. The UK company operates as part of this combined group's structure, based in York, rather than as an independent trading business in its own right. Its parent group's technology is used to build and monitor fibre networks worldwide, with the business describing itself as helping customers scale and simplify network operations.
