4 Widely deployed by telecommunications carriers, small and mid-sized businesses and distributed enterprises, ADTRAN products enable voice and broadband access across copper, fiber, and wireless networks. A History of Success ADTRAN was incorporated in 1985 and began operation in 1986 in Huntsville, Alabama. Our corporate headquarters and principal administrative, engineering, and manufacturing facilities are located on an 80-acre campus in Cummings Research Park, the nation s second largest science and technology community. In addition to Huntsville, the company also has engineering facilities in Phoenix, Arizona, Mountain View, California, and Ottawa, Canada. With superb talent and excellent management, the company has steadily grown to a workforce that now approaches 1,700 employees worldwide. ADTRAN has two distinct operating divisions, Carrier Networks and Enterprise Networks. The Carrier Networks Division offers products used by service providers to deliver voice and broadband services to a customer s premises. The Enterprise Networks Division provides small and mid-size businesses or enterprise customers the products to serve numerous business applications such as VoIP, LAN, Internet, and VPN services across one or more sites. Combined, ADTRAN offers a premier portfolio of more than 1,700 high-speed network access products and communication devices. ADTRAN is proud to hold ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and TL 9000 NSAI certifications, which further demonstrate our ongoing corporate commitment to excellence. The International Organization for Standardization ISO issues certifications to suppliers in the telecommunications arena who meet strict requirements and adhere to a consistent set of quality system guidelines. As an ISO-certified supplier supporting next-generation quality standards, the company maintains extensive in-house labs for reliability, component, and compliance testing all in the name of customer satisfaction. Every ADTRAN purchase is backed by an indisputable reputation of quality and reliability. ADTRAN continues its long-term, corporate-wide commitment to quality assurance in all phases of business and manufacturing operations. TL Both divisions of the company are positioned with product and service offerings that compete in many segments of the global telecommunications market, specifically in the areas of Ethernet- and Internet Protocol- (IP) based networks. As networks migrate to IP-based architectures, ADTRAN has strengthened its technologies in its primary growth areas: Broadband Access, Optical Access, and Internetworking. A Commitment to Quality and Reliability ADTRAN maintains a disciplined program of compliance with the standards mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including the Section 404 requirement that we document and test key internal controls over financial reporting, and our strict Code of Business Conduct and Ethics adopted in In our view, both measures are a reaffirmation of the high standards of ethical conduct we have enforced since our founding. 4

6 ADTRAN is an active participant in numerous standards organizations and has been recognized as a significant contributor in the development of worldwide standards for many technologies. Commitment to R&D Rapidly changing technologies, evolving industry standards, changing customer requirements, and continuing developments in telecommunications service offerings characterize the markets for ADTRAN products. The company s ability to adapt to these changes and to develop new and enhanced products is a significant factor in maintaining or improving ADTRAN s competitive position and growth potential. As a result, ADTRAN continues to make significant investments in product development. Our product development activities center on products to support both existing and emerging technologies in the telecommunications industry. We are actively engaged in developing and refining technologies to support broadband services over TDM, ATM and IP network architectures. Our work involves Ethernet transport, DSL transport (VDSL2, ADSL2+, ADSL, SHDSL, and HDSLx), fiber optic transport, access routing, Ethernet switching, integrated access and network management and services. ADTRAN is an active participant in numerous standards organizations and has been recognized as a significant contributor in the development of worldwide standards for many technologies. We were a major contributor to both HDSL2 and SHDSL standards, having developed much of the technology incorporated into them. ADTRAN is involved in a number of additional standards development efforts related to maximizing the bandwidth potential of the copper pair to enable new applications. We contributed to the development of the new second generation VDSL2 ITU-T standard, and as an active participant in the DSL Forum we continue to make contributions toward ADSL2+ and VDSL2 development. Our efforts in industry standards extend beyond the copper loop. ADTRAN continues to promote the evolution of Ethernet technology through participation in the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN standards committee, the ITU-T and the Metro Ethernet Forum, all of which are standardizing technologies such as Carrier Ethernet traffic management, networking, Ethernet Operations, Administration and Management (OA&M) and Connectivity Fault Management. Most recently, we have worked through these organizations to bring increased interoperability between GPON equipment. These efforts have included helping Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) establish a new subcommittee focusing on optical access networks and increasing our participation in GPON work in the DSL Forum. Positioned for the Future ADTRAN s success is predicated on our ability to anticipate changes in technology, industry standards, and common carrier service offerings, coupled with our ability to develop and manufacture products cost-effectively.
