- Nokia extends its field-proven next generation fiber portfolio
to help simplify and accelerate fiber evolution for operators
around the world
- South Korea Broadband (SKB) becomes eighth customer to have
commercially deployed Nokia's XGS-PON and TWDM-PON
solutions
ESPOO, Finland, Oct. 17, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nokia
is extending its fiber solution for universal next generation
passive optical networks (PON) to help operators more effectively
scale, deploy and automate their fiber networks as the demand for
data grows.
Launched in 2015, Nokia's universal PON solution leverages
existing fiber platforms and infrastructure to help operators
evolve networks in a gradual way, adding wavelengths in line with
demand. Commercially deployed with eight customers around the
world, the solution offers various next generation PON technologies
including XGS-PON and TWDM-PON on a single platform and line
card. Operators can connect subscribers with any type of
optical network terminal (ONTs) regardless of whether it's XGPON1,
XGS-PON or TWDM-PON, eliminating the risk of technology and
platform lock-in.
Now, Nokia is enhancing its universal solution to provide
operators with a higher density option that can reduce costs.
Increasing deployment flexibility, the enhancements include new
SDN/NFV-based capabilities that automate and simplify the
deployment, maintenance and evolution of traditional fiber
networks. This provides a smooth evolution path to 10G symmetrical
or asymmetrical speeds with cost-efficient non-tunable XGS-PON
optics and to TWDM-PON with tunable optics.
Providing operators with a more advanced approach to their fiber
evolution, Nokia's extensive universal next generation PON
portfolio of products now includes:
- Field-proven XGS-PON dual rate/TWDM-PON -
enabling operators to address the need for 10G services in
cost-efficient way with non-tunable optics, and smoothly evolve to
tunable TWDM-PON.
- Expanded ONT family - variety of ONTs, supporting
XGPON1, XGS-PON or TWDM-PON helping operators to deploy the
right 10Gbps service at the right cost.
- Access Controller - Cloud-based controller automates and
simplifies deployment, maintenance and evolution of the access
network in a traditional, SDN, or hybrid management environments.
It plays a critical role with tools that manage wavelength, load
balance and select ONT wavelengths.
- 7362 ISAM DF-16 - A small form-factor access node that
supports GPON and next generation 10G PON technologies which lets
operators effectively deploy fiber in smaller or lower user density
areas.
- 8-port universal next gen PON line card - Allows
operators to increase the number of connected XGPON1, XGS or TWDM
ONTs and reduce cost
- Wavelength multiplexer with embedded co-existing element
- For an end-to-end solution that lets operators add XGS-PON and
TWDM-PON wavelengths in incremental steps, with gradual investment
and minimal interruption of service during upgrade.
With eight next generation PON commercial customers that include
the world's first XGS-PON deployments with China Mobile and
TWDM-PON by EPB in the city of Chattanooga, Tennessee, Nokia
remains committed to researching, developing and implementing the
latest technologies and innovations service providers need to
accelerate their fiber evolution.
Federico Guillen, president of Nokia's Fixed Networks
business group, said: "Nokia has lead the innovation charge in
the next-generation fiber space, first with TWDM-PON and then with
the use of fixed optics, an approach which is the foundation of
today's XGS-PON standard. The enhancements to our next-generation
PON portfolio make it easier and more cost-effective for service
providers to seamlessly evolve their existing fiber networks in
line with demand."
Did you know?
- Nokia's universal TWDM solution with fixed wavelengths,
announced in February 2015, led to standardization of the new
XGS-PON technology in 2016
- Nokia's Universal NGPON works with a variety of 10G optics,
allowing operators to connect XGPON1, XGS and tunable TWDM
ONTs
- SKB becomes the eighth Nokia customer to commercially deploy
its XGS/TWDM solutions.
