23 February, 2024 Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced that
its fiber optic broadband network electronics and optical modules
manufactured in the U.S. meet the final Buy America guidelines
announced today by the Department of Commerce. As a Buy
America-compliant vendor, Nokia is one of the few that can supply
products and services to critical broadband infrastructure projects
focused on closing the digital divide.
By meeting the final NTIA guidelines, Nokia can fully support
states expected to launch BEAD projects in 2024. Nokia's first
U.S.-made products that meet Buy America standards can be delivered
in June 2024. Nokia will self-certify each product in line with
NTIA specifications expected to be issued to ensure listed vendors
comply with the final guidelines. Available for order as individual
products or as part of Nokia’s network-in-a-box program, the
BEAD-certified solutions provide states with the technology needed
to build end-to-end fiber networks to support BEAD's goal of
expanding broadband access to more
communities.
Sandy Motley, USA Country Manager at
Nokia, said: “We are proud to be Buy America compliant and
to support the U.S. government's efforts to bring broadband to
every American. We believe broadband is a fundamental right and a
vital social and economic development enabler. As a leader in fixed
access technologies, we have the solutions and experience to help
states eliminate the digital divide and deliver high-quality
broadband services to their communities.”
Veronica Bloodworth, Chief Network Officer at Frontier,
said: “We are proud to use Nokia’s Buy America compliant
technology to help us deliver high-speed, fiber broadband to the
people and communities that need it most. Frontier is building more
fiber than ever before and connecting more people, communities and
businesses to our fast, reliable broadband than at any other time
in our company's history. We want partners who can help us deliver
connectivity to millions more, no matter where they are, as we
continue to live out our purpose of Building Gigabit America.”
