Espoo, Finland - Telenor has chosen Nokia as its sole
supplier for the replacement of its legacy optical backbone
network. The new optical core network will provide much-needed
bandwidth capacity in Norway and Sweden.
As one of the world's largest mobile telecommunications
companies with operations in Scandinavia, Eastern
Europe and Asia, Telenor Group is looking to increase
bandwidth capacity by replacing its current optical core network
connecting major centers across Norway and Sweden. Driving the need
for the new multi-terabit capacity are the coming evolution to 5G
mobile, growing consumer demand for online video and internet
usage, and the increasing use of cloud applications and the
associated need for data center interconnections.
The next-generation optical network will feature Nokia's
state-of-the-art coherent optical transmission technology. Built on
Nokia's industry leading solutions with advanced wavelength routing
(CDC-F), it allows for greater flexibility and dynamic network
management and automation. The network offers an SDN-ready platform
that will provide Telenor with a more efficient way to automate,
optimize and assure network services.
As an essential part of the Norwegian and Swedish national
infrastructure, Nokia's optical backbone network is a highly robust
solution. Many operations have been certified compliant with
ISO27001 information security standards and in other cases have
satisfactorily demonstrated conformance to the ISO27001 information
security standards.
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."
