New Nokia FTTx solutions give operators greater flexibility and choice to meet ultra-broadband demand
October 17 2017 - 2:02AM
- Nokia expands micro-node portfolio to support new deployment
models for next generation PON, G.fast- and VDSL2-based
services.
- New solutions drive intelligent access and provide greater
technology flexibility for operators seeking to meet coverage and
investment targets for ultra-broadband services
- Enhanced FTTx (Fiber-to-the-x) portfolio helps operators match
specific use cases to deployment requirements, delivering
additional options around form factors, speeds and power

Espoo, Finland -
Nokia is bringing several new products to its extensive FTTx
portfolio so operators can accelerate ultra-broadband deployments
and deliver more bandwidth to more people sooner. Nokia's enhanced
FTTx portfolio includes fiber and high-speed DSL deployment options
including a mini outdoor fiber node, a 212Mhz reverse-power G.fast
solution and DSL backhaul remote nodes. Operators are
evolving their access networks to better meet consumer demands for
higher speeds and deliver on the promise of ubiquitous coverage.
However, with vastly different challenges across their networks, a
"one size fits all" approach does not always make sense. Having the
flexibility to choose the right technology and deployment practice
allows operators to overcome these challenges, fill coverage gaps
in the network and deliver on the promise of ultra-broadband for
all. Nokia is introducing a number of new micro-nodes that provide
operators with the flexibility, speed and scale required to
effectively deliver ultra-broadband access and services to more
people sooner. The FTTx solutions introduce several fiber and DSL
access nodes, covering a wide range of applications and use cases
including: A weatherized fiber access micro-node that can be
deployed in any outdoor location, eliminating the need to invest in
the central office, cabinets or remote weather protected locations.
Supporting GPON, XGS-PON and TWDM-PON, the new solution also
simplifies and accelerates the operator's fiber network
evolution. Reverse-powered G.fast micro-nodes that can be
used in areas where access to the power grid is challenging. The
solution is supported by Nokia's cloud-native software platform,
Altiplano, which allows for provisioning of the access node even
when its powered down. 212Mhz G.fast micro-nodes capable of
supporting up to 1 symmetrical gigabit speeds aggregate over a
single copper pair or Coax cable. With 212 MHz G.fast, operators
can extend gigabit speeds into multiple dwelling units (MDU)
without installing fiber cable. DSL nodes that provide operators
with extensive copper networks with a CTTx (copper-to-the-x) option
capable of delivering 200Mbps up to 1,000 meters away using bonded
DSL pairs in the uplink, extending ultra-broadband access into
areas where fiber may not be practical. Operators can also leverage
fiber and DSL remote nodes including the Lightspan SX-16F, DX-16F
and CF-24 announced under Nokia's Lightspan portfolio which
leverage software defined networking and network function
virtualization (SDN/NFV) to automate network configuration
management, accessibility, serviceability and turn-up time.
Roland Montagne, principal analyst at IDATE, said: "The
ability to support a wide range of use cases in a cost-effective
manner is key for operators seeking to bring ultra-broadband to
more people sooner. Nokia already has an extensive portfolio of
fixed access technologies and these new FTTx solutions will further
enhance the toolkit, providing operators with the additional
technology options they need to accelerate ultra-broadband access
and meet objectives in a competitive manner." Federico
Guillén, president of Nokia's Fixed Networks Business Group,
said: "As customer demand for ultra-broadband access continues
to increase, operators need a wide range of technology options to
meet evolving requirements and effectively address different use
cases. With the industry's most advanced and complete portfolio of
solutions across fiber, DSL, cable and wireless, Nokia is uniquely
equipped to help operators address any situation they may face
today and in the future." Part of Nokia's Intelligent Access
vision, the new FTTx solutions highlight the various ways Nokia is
working with operators to deploy faster, better and smarter
networks. Nokia will be demonstrating and showcasing these
FTTx options in the Nokia Booth E104 at the Broadband World Forum
in Berlin, October 24-26. New micro-nodes displayed at BBWF
include: Nokia's 7362 ISAM SF-8GW is a hardened fiber access
micro-node can be deployed anywhere and delivers 10/10 Gbps
symmetric and/or 10/2.5 Gbps asymmetric speeds depending on network
requirements. Nokia Lightspan Access Node SX-16F is a sealed,
self-contained micro-node supporting 16 ports of 106MHz G.fast with
the option for reverse power feeds. Nokia's Lightspan Access Node
DX-16F is a dense, self-contained micro-node supporting 212 MHz
G.fast on coax. Nokia 7367 ISAM SX-48U supports 48 vectored VDSL
17a/35b or ADSL ports with an additional ports for bonded uplinks.
By using these three DSL technologies in specific combinations,
operators can go long delivering 10Mbps @ 6km or go fast with
speeds of 200Mbps @ 1km. About NokiaWe create the
