Telenor Selects Nokia for Global Bandwidth

January 12, 2018


By Mandi Nowitz - Web Editor

Nokia has been selected by Telenor (News - Alert) for its optical core network, providing bandwidth capacity for Norway and Sweden. Telenor is one the largest telecom businesses, operating in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and Asia.

The desire for enhanced multi-terabit capacity is being driven by the anticipated arrival of 5G, along with increasing demand for online video streaming and internet-based services consumption, and expanded use of cloud apps with data center interconnection needs. This next-gen optical network, courtesy of Nokia (News - Alert), will showcase the company’s coherent optical transmission technology.

Designed from Nokia’s solutions with advanced wavelength routing (CDC-F), the network will deliver better flexibility, network management, and automation.  Additionally, there is an SDN-ready platform supplying Telenor a more effective tool to automate, optimize, and assure network service availability and delivery.

Nicolas Almendro, head of Europe & MEA Optics Business Development at Nokia, said: "We are excited to be chosen for this multi-year turnkey project. This highly resilient and secure optical backbone will play a critical role in deploying next-generation services to Telenor customers in Norway and Sweden, and help the customer prepare for the demands of 5G."

Nokia will be building a strong optical infrastructure for Norway and Sweden, with a majority of the operations certified compliant with ISO27001 information security standards. Those that did not completely meet compliance satisfactorily met the standards of ISO27001.

Nokia has been making many waves this week as it announced a new line of health and sleep products that can be linked to Amazon Alexa/Echo. Its new sleep system, when connected to Wi-Fi, can change the temperature and lighting upon sleep detection. It can also track snoring patterns and the Health Mate app can monitor blood pressure, pregnancy, and much more.  In addition to delivering network technology, Nokia is also driving innovation with products that can leverage its next-gen networks.
