Delhi, India - Spectra has selected Nokia's IP/MPLS routing
and GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) fiber solutions to build
out its network to meet customer demand for high-performance
broadband services. Spectra will be the first ISP in Bangalore to
offer 1 Gbps services with unlimited bandwidth at a competitive
price for both residential and enterprise customers.
Spectra is one of the fastest growing Indian ISPs and its
aggressive broadband offer is changing the competitive landscape in
Bangalore. Its customers, many of whom are demanding more
bandwidth, are being offered a 'step jump' in bandwidth, service
quality and reach, at very competitive price points This has
significantly changed how broadband is consumed in the region,
contributing to the Indian government's goal of making India one of
the top ten countries worldwide for broadband. A testament to this
is the fact that Spectra continues to lead the Netflix ISP
SpeedIndex for India over other legacy providers.
Spectra is aiming to provide broadband networks to key metro
markets in India to meet data-driven demand for services like video
streaming. The Nokia IP/MPLS solution will provide an IP
aggregation, Edge and core network based on the 7210 Service Access
Switch (SAS) and 7750 Service Router (SR) for the network roll-out
in Bangalore. The Nokia Network Services Platform (NSP) will handle
end-to-end service provisioning and network assurance that will
ensure high quality while lowering operational costs for
Spectra.
Nokia also is also providing its 7360 ISAM FX GPON solution to
provide faster broadband speeds to customers and create the network
foundation essential for future ultra-broadband services. The
enhanced fiber network will allow Spectra to address the emerging
ultra-broadband needs of its customers and deliver best-in-class
services
Mr. Udit Mehrotra, CEO and Managing Director, Spectra
said: "We are pleased to partner with Nokia to strengthen our
network of high bandwidth broadband services for business and home
customers. We are working hard to ensure our offerings and
expertise in ultra-high speed broadband access and transport
continue to improve the quality of internet consumption in India
and support the country's future digital innovations"
Vinish Bawa, head of Customer Team, Emerging Business for
Nokia India, said: "Spectra's choice of the Nokia routing and
broadband access solution is the beginning of a great partnership.
We plan to work closely with our customer to help them provide a
level of service assurance and manageability that will make their
offer affordable while taking bandwidth to a whole new level for
their subscribers."
