Nokia Gigabit Smart Build makes ultra-broadband network transformation easier and more predictable
October 13 2016 - 7:07AM
- Simplifies transition to ultra-broadband access while ensuring
predictable outcomes on return on investment, time to market and
quality of broadband evolution
- Builds on decades of expertise, automation tools and processes
to help service providers design, plan, build and operate
ultra-broadband networks more efficiently
Nokia announced the launch of its Gigabit Smart Build
portfolio to help service providers build ultra-broadband networks
easily and more cost-efficiently. The portfolio consists of a set
of services, processes and automated tools, and is based on Nokia's
expertise accumulated from decades of experience in designing and
rolling out ultra-broadband networks and network
transformation.
In a highly competitive market, service providers need to
constantly upgrade their broadband networks and deliver more
bandwidth to more people, sooner. Introducing new technology
evolutions in networks and keeping customers happy and loyal while
growing market share is a huge challenge. Broadband upgrade
programs run the risk of being delayed or run over budget due to
inefficiencies and unexpected hurdles with planning and
implementation - not to mention the impact on communities of
never-ending civil works, digging up roads and entering buildings
to install new infrastructure.
Gigabit Smart Build simplifies the process of introducing and
commercializing new technology and products, and makes sure that
the broadband networks will support competitive services for many
years to come. It applies a 3-step approach to broadband evolution
that address specific pain points while planning, deploying and
operationalizing
- Preparing for Gigabit: Nokia Bell Labs' patented
Business and Technology Modeling tools help build viable and
accurate business cases and select the right technology and
strategy to move to Gigabit. Next to that, we share real-world
experience and expertise with our customers through our Innovation
Management service and collaborate closely to accelerate the
time-to-market for new products and technology.
- Deploying Gigabit: The Network Build Control
Management service controls and automates end-to-end network
rollout resulting in cost-efficiencies, a faster roll-out and a
first-time-right network build. This complements our ONT Easy Start
solution launched last year, which allows end-users to activate the
Optical Network Terminal themselves, reducing installation and
activation costs by 40+%.
- Managing and Optimizing Gigabit: Patented methodologies
and tools speed up and simplify migration of legacy broadband
networks. In addition, the Network Assessment & Health Check
tool analyzes big data to provide insight into network performance
and capacity management. Network software upgrades are performed
faster and at higher quality through systematic upgrades.
Applying Gigabit Smart Build with customers throughout the world
has shown the following benefits:
- Assured quality: The service reduces rollout errors by a
factor of three by controlling end-to-end network rollout and
automating.
- Fastest time to market: The service cuts time-to-market
in half by minimizing preparation time, accelerating rollouts and
increasing rollout volume.
- Maximum ROI: The Service increases return on investment
(ROI) as it helps operators choose the best evolution path with
more than 95% accuracy, optimizing rollouts and lifecycle
management, and reducing legacy migration costs.
Nokia has recently run more than 10 key programs with customers
worldwide, upgrading and transforming their wireline broadband
access networks.
Federico Guillén, president of Nokia's Fixed Networks
Business Group, said: "Successfully rolling out Gigabit
networks relies on three factors: experience, expertise and
automation. Our unparalleled track record of innovation and
holistic approach cover all aspects of the evolution to Gigabit
networks. Basically, it comes down to taking the guesswork out of
broadband network roll-outs.This delivers tremendous benefits and
predictable results in terms of time-to-market, cost reductions and
first-time-right execution, while sharply reducing any disruptions
for communities and citizens."
Julie Kunstler, Principal Analyst at OVUM, said: "A
recent network transformation survey we conducted confirmed that
service providers face numerous network transformation challenges,
such as choosing the best technology strategy and understanding its
impact on future upgrades, identifying new revenue opportunities
and meeting rollout targets and network optimization goals. Many of
the cited challenges can be mitigated through enhanced vendor
relationships with telecom partners such as Nokia."
