Nokia has unveiled plans to implement an advanced optical transport network (OTN) to bolster Airtel’s telecom infrastructure, enhancing capacity, reliability, and cost-efficiency. As the demand for expanded network capabilities grows with the nationwide deployment of 5G services, Airtel will replace its existing transport switching infrastructure with Nokia’s cutting-edge hardware, spanning various cities.
In a recent press release, Nokia detailed the collaboration, revealing that Airtel will adopt Nokia 1830 PSS-x P-OTN switches to modernize its transport switching infrastructure. These state-of-the-art devices will be integrated into Airtel’s national long-distance network, connecting major Indian cities.
Nokia anticipates that its high-capacity OTN switches will empower Bharti Airtel to augment overall transport capacity and optimize bandwidth efficiency. The inclusion of L-band wavelengths in optic fiber networks will further allow telecom service providers to maximize spectrum utilization, as highlighted in the company’s official statement issued on Tuesday.
Nokia underscores the rising demand faced by telecom and broadband service providers, emphasizing the necessity to enhance 5G networks by fortifying backhaul transport. This strategic move is not only geared towards meeting increased connectivity needs but also aims to facilitate data center interconnect (DCI), smart grids, and emerging business services, as outlined by the technology company.
Chandan Kumar, Head of the Optical Network Business Centre for Nokia India, stated in a prepared statement, “Our technology will empower Airtel to boost the capacity and capabilities of Bharti’s optical transport network in response to the escalating bandwidth requirements driven by the enterprise and hyperscaler segments. Additionally, it will ensure service level performance to meet the stringent SLAs expected by Airtel customers.”
