NEW DELHI: Nokia Thursday said it has inked a fiber network and in-home mesh Wi-Fi deployment deal with United Group (UG) to deliver ultra-broadband and 10Gbps services to residential and business customers across southeast Europe.
UG said it will work jointly with Nokia to upgrade existing areas with 10Gbps enabled infrastructure based on XGS-PON.
Based on Nokia’s Lightspan FX series for GPON and XGS-PON services, the rollout will enable UG to deliver enhanced broadband services, offer mobile transport services, create new business opportunities, and support in evolving towards a virtualized access-network or SDN.
Nokia will also provide UG with its portfolio of Wi-Fi mesh-enabled ONTs and Beacons.
“We are excited to be the preferred fiber access network equipment provider to United Group and to work with them on this new phase of growth. With our FTTH and Wi-Fi solution, we are able to provide high-speed, reliable network infrastructure and an unmatched in-home Wi-Fi experience that will meet United Groups subscriber’s needs today and in the future,” said Sandy Motley, President Nokia Fixed Networks Division.
“We’re also helping to secure Southeast Europe’s digital future by guaranteeing our next-generation network – already the region’s largest – is ready to support the future needs of our users both at home and their places of business,” said United Group Vice President Technology Željko Batistić.
