Press Release
- Nokia Intelligent Access allows operators to use the most
cost-effective technology mix to deliver gigabit services, to
extend that gigabit experience into the home, include network
intelligence that drives automation, self-optimization/self-healing
and adds programmability for new capabilities.
- Portfolio expands ultra-broadband options across fiber, DSL,
cable and fixed wireless access, brings meshed gigabit Wi-Fi to
every device in the home; and uses virtualization to enable
use-case based software-defined networking

Espoo, Finland - Nokia helps operators to evolve
ultra-broadband demands with an enhanced portfolio of fixed network
solutions and services that make broadband networks faster, better
and smarter. Operators will now have access to additional
technology choices needed to deliver more bandwidth to more people
sooner, bring gigabit experiences to and into every home and better
manage network complexity through virtualization. Nokia's
expanded portfolio adds new options to the ultra-broadband toolkit
including fixed-wireless access, introduces new
carrier-grade in-home Wi-Fi solutions and delivers a new
virtualized portfolio of technology that supports the widest
range of software-defined (SDN) use cases in the
industry.
Several factors are impacting operator's ability to bring
ultra-broadband services to customers. First, the need to
leverage a mix of ultra-broadband technologies across copper,
cable, fiber and wireless to deliver gigabit services and
ubiquitous ultra-broadband coverage. Second, it's no longer
enough to simply bring ultra-broadband access to the home; with
more than 30% of calls to a Communication Service Provider's (CSP)
helpdesk related to poor in-home connectivity, operators must be
able to ensure gigabit Wi-Fi coverage can be delivered to every
corner and device in the home. Finally, added network
complexity is making it difficult to unlock new capabilities, drive
automation and scale the network.
To help, Nokia is introducing several new solutions that will
bring intelligent access to the network and help operators to:
- Deliver more bandwidth to more people sooner through an
expanded portfolio of ultra-broadband technologies and services
across fiber, DSL, cable and wireless that give operators all the
tools they need to make the business case work
- Deliver a gigabit experience to and into every home with
carrier-grade meshed Wi-Fi solutions that enhance in-home
connectivity helping operators deliver new services that provide an
unmatched in-home user experience
- Automate and scale the network - through cloud native
hardware, virtualization and software-defined networking solutions
that enable operators to build networks which can be
self-installed, self-optimized and self-healed.
Erik Keith, principal analyst at GlobalData, said:
"Nokia's Intelligent Access solution addresses several key pain
points operators are challenged with today. First it provides a
broad set of deployment options - across fiber, DSL, cable, and now
fixed wireless access - that are essential for connecting everyone
to everything, and to ensuring the success of evolving operator
business cases. Intelligent Access also unlocks whole-home
Wi-Fi which is critical to enabling a truly end-to-end gigabit
experience. Finally, it delivers virtualization elements
which will be key to automate, simplify, scale the network, and
deliver new capabilities. Complementary new solutions - including
fixed wireless, meshed wi-fi, and a refreshing software-defined
access approach with a focus on use cases - confirm Nokia's ongoing
leadership in the fixed networks space."
New solutions part of Nokia's Intelligent Access vision
includes:
- A Software-Defined Access Network (SDAN) solution that delivers
a comprehensive set of cloud-native software, open programmable
hardware and automated operations that drive real world use cases
with benefits.
- The cable industry's first virtualized distributed access
architecture and cable solution. Based on a virtualize cable
modem termination system (vCMTS), Nokia's enhanced Unified Cable
Access solution gives cable operators a choice for implementing a
vDAA and supports R-PHY, R-MACPHY or a combination of both
approaches through a simple configuration option
- A carrier-grade in-home Wi-Fi solution that brings an unmatched
gigabit connectivity experience to every corner of the home and
allows operators to deliver new services and reduce customer churn
that can result from poor Wi-Fi connections
- The industry's first wireless PON solution which fully
integrates WiGig technology in a Passive Optical Network (PON),
allowing operators to wirelessly bring gigabit services to end
customers and accelerate Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments
- New Fiber and high-speed DSL deployment options including
outdoor and data center fiber nodes, a 212Mhz reverse power G.fast
solution and DSL backhaul remote nodes
- Predictive care services which use a set of algorithms to
predict and solve issues in the network before they
occur.
Federico Guillén, president of Nokia's Fixed Networks
Business Group, said: "Operators are seeing unprecedented
network demands as the need for ultra-broadband performance,
coverage and availability continues to grow. Additionally,
those looking to provide a true end-to-end gigabit experience can
no longer simply focus on bringing high-speed access to the home;
they must bring it into the home with carrier-grade solutions that
deliver gigabit Wi-Fi coverage to every corner and device in the
home. The technologies, nodes, traffic and services needed to
support today's ultra-broadband requirements are adding significant
complexity to the network and those who can master this complexity
the fastest will come out ahead. Nokia is providing operators
with a smarter approach to fixed access that combines the
intelligent application of technology with the intelligence of the
network to help make broadband networks faster, better and
smarter."
