carriers to deliver up to five times the broadband speed currently offered by the most progressive UK cabproviders. ADTRAN solutions have significantly exceeded expectations with innovative technology which enhanceperformance of G.fast both in terms of reach and speed. These innovations are changing the way ultra-fabroadband is transmitted, moving from more costly FTTP deployment models to emerging FTTdp modeand now Fiber-to-the-Cabinet (FTTCab). This, coupled with ADTRAN’s intention to increase the port deof G.fast equipment in the future, offers potential savings for large service providers for every 50 meters additional customer reach.Mike Galvin, BT managing director of service, strategy & operations, explains, “Providing fiber to everyhome or business in a given community can be a logistical and financial challenge. Rather than relying ofiber for the entire network, G.fast solutions such as ADTRAN’s utilize existing copper assets for the lasstep of the journey. This allows us to provide the ultra-fast broadband that customers demand, whilereducing the time and cost of running fiber all the way to the premises.”“Conversations with our customers during these trials are revealing G.fast technology to be a significant important part of service provider broadband portfolios all around the world,” comments Dr. EduardScheiterer, senior vice president, research and development, ADTRAN. “We see G.fast as an essentialaccess solution for the future enablement of widespread Gigabit broadband. Our continued investment inG.fast includes end-user service activation through reverse powering capabilities, which we brought tomarket. We are also working with standards bodies like the Broadband Forum to develop open APIs andinterfaces allowing simplified, rapid deployment into any broadband network, regardless of FTTx vendoOSS incumbency.”Notes to Editors: ADTRAN’s G.fast solutions support open Software-Defined Network (SDN) deployment models that enrapid plug and play deployment capability within the multi-vendor FTTx networks that exist today. With100,000 sealed micro DSLAMs in FTTdp and FTTCab deployments to date, many within communities acountries with harsh and extreme environments, such as the Middle East, Finland, Mexico and Alaska, ADTRAN has a proven track record of success with the type of environmentally sealed and remotelypowered solutions required for the successful deployment of G.fast.

For AGCO, ‘sustainable’means designing products appropriate for African conditions; building straightforward, modern anddependable products in Africa by developing our local assembly and manufacturing footprint and traininfarmers and dealers through the AGCO Future Farm, together with first-class parts, service and field supthrough AGCO's extensive distributor network.”To support this strategy, AGCO has developed an Emerging Farmers’ Mechanisation Package through itsMassey Ferguson brand that will give emerging farmers in Africa access to modern farm equipment at anaffordable price. The package features a range of Massey Ferguson tractors between 55 and 85horsepower and a full line of accompanying implements (a harrow, plough, subsoiler, planter, trailer ortransport box). The Emerging Farmers’ Mechanisation Package was tested at the AGCO Future FarminZambia achieving more than a three-fold increase in yield.”“This package, you could call it a ‘Farm in a Box,’ is a testament to AGCO’s approach to combine thedevelopment of mechanisation solutions alongside human capital,” explained Rob Smith. “Inclusivemechanisation means leaving no one behind on the path to prosperity. We are working hard to ensurewomen farmers, young farmers and smallholder farmer families can participate and benefit frommechanisation. Inclusive means bringing all of the participants in African agriculture together on the jouto drive agricultural growth.” A core element of AGCO’s mechanisation strategy for Africa is the AGCO Future farm initiative whichprovides farmers with education in core agricultural practices and trains operators, mechanics as well aslocal dealers on how to operate, service and maintain agricultural equipment. As part of this strategy, AGwill break ground on a second Future Farm in Francophone Africa later this year.During today’s summit, AGCO signed a memorandum of understanding with CNFA (Cultivating NewFrontiers in Agriculture), an international non-profit organization headquartered in Washington, D.C., thasupports businesses, foundations, governments and communities to build customized local and globalpartnerships that meet the world’s growing demand for food.

RIDING THE CREST: STUDENT HOUSING DEVELOPER HAS FOUND AWAY TO GROW WHILE KEEPING COSTS LOW CHARLOTTE – Campus Crest in 2004 didn’t own and hadn’t built a single residential bed.Nine years later, the Charlotte-based student housing developer is approaching 50,000 beds in 87student-specific apartment communities, spread across 25 states. The company is also working on its firsinternational community, which will be delivered next year in Montreal.Ted Rollins, CEO of Campus Crest, said it all comes down to the quality of the people he has working fohim. “We, from the start, wanted to attract the best folks, so we have been fortunate over the last nine yeto have some of the best talent in the industry.”But the steep rise of Campus Crest comes down to more than just its employees. Any developer could haattracted the talent. The real story behind the rapid growth is cost efficiency.Campus Crest uses a business model known by different names: design/build, construction management,vertical integration. It all means the same thing – that the company is responsible for all aspects of itsprojects. From design to development to construction, then to even property management, Campus Cresthandles it all.Rollins said they do this for one reason.“We build a prototype and we build the same thing over and over,” he said. “It’s an economy of scale. Wdon’t have to reinvent the wheel each year. We eliminate any markup from a middle man.“From the time we started, we were vertically integrated so we could control everything that created valuand maintained value.”From zero to No. 2 in nine yearsWhen Rollins started Campus Crest in 2004 with his partner, Mike Hartnett, they had $17,000 between twith which to work. Both had previously worked in the apartment industry, Hartnett on the development

and Rollins on the financial side. But they saw a gap in the product available specifically for students anddecided they’d fill that niche.“There was a large demand for a product built to rent to students,” he said. “But we noticed that across thU.S. there was a lot of demand, especially for what we know as a primary non-flagship school in a statesystem, that wasn’t being met.“They’re not the name-brand flagship schools, but they’re great schools with a solid market.”By flagship schools, Rollins is talking about a school like the University of North Carolina at Chapel HilCampus Crest doesn’t have a community there, but does have communities at East Carolina University athe University of North Carolina at Asheville. Asheville is actually where Rollins and Hartnett chose to build the company’s first community, a 448-beproject called The Grove.The Grove was a hit with college students in Asheville, with its all-inclusive format. Not only are the entapartments furnished, but all utilities are covered in the rent.

“For student apartments it’s critical that they’re going to be open before school starts,” he said. “Your typapartment community may be scheduled to open in July or August, but if they’re late it’s not critical.“If you’re a student community and you’re not open when the school semester starts, you’re in trouble. Tcan’t wait a month.”Coming soonCampus Crest over the next two years is set to deliver eight projects in college towns across the country,according to the company’s third quarter earnings report.But, for all its growth and all its communities in the U.S., Campus Crest is curiously lacking a project in market in which the company is based.The University of North Carolina at Charlotte is in the midst of a period of strong growth and severaldevelopers have started taking advantage of this growth by putting up apartments around the school.Campus Crest isn’t among them.Rollins said he can’t disclose projects that haven’t been publically announced – Campus Crest being apublically-traded company – but said the company may be looking at UNCC in the near future.“In the Copper Beech deal we got a piece of land out there (near UNCC),” he said. “We’re working onCharlotte, it won’t be too long.”
