Broadband Easy

A digital AI platform for efficient fiber rollout

Broadband Easy

Fast, efficient fiber rollouts for continued growth

Demand for fiber broadband doesn’t stand still, and neither can you. To compete and grow your business, you’ll need to extend your fiber footprint into more challenging areas, perhaps with incumbent competition, lower household densities, or lower incomes. In these areas, fiber rollout efficiency is essential to make the business case to work.

Nokia Broadband Easy provides an AI platform and associated services to make your next deployment more efficient and more profitable. It takes a digital-first approach that integrates and automates your deployment for any or all stages of design, build, and connect, helping you lower costs by 10% and move 20% faster to revenues.

Agentic AI, computer vision and digital twin technologies assist and guide your roll-out team providing even better quality in the field and an accurate inventory at any point in time – reducing return visits to construction sites and connected homes with up to 50%.

The challenges of fiber rollouts

Fiber rollouts are high-stakes projects with many codependent parts that require careful planning and precise execution. Teams must coordinate effectively and seamlessly through the phases of design, build, and connect. Data and information must be immediately available with 100% accuracy so that different functions can perform their different tasks accurately and on time, every time. Slight slips in any area, or miscommunication between areas, result in projects running behind schedule and over budget.

Finally: no compromise on quality. In today’s networks, poor records of the passive plant are widely observed. High build quality and complete and up-to-date inventories help avoid return visits.

Four tactics to reduce fiber deployment costs

Global management consulting firm McKinsey performed a study in 2024 which highlights the tactics operators can use to roll out fiber faster and cheaper. The table below gives a summary of the four domains where McKinsey sees significant potential to increase efficiency and the quantitative benefits they bring.

The study shows that overall savings of 10-25% can be achieved through what is largely a digitalization of the fiber program.

Nokia Broadband Easy does just that through:

One process covering design up to operations providing full control to the operator.
Advanced automation in design and field activities to perform installations first time right.
Artificial Intelligence technology for higher productivity and a better quality outside plant.

What is Broadband Easy?

Nokia Broadband Easy provides a cloud platform and related services to optimize and increase the efficiency of fiber rollout.

Digital Twin

Broadband Easy creates records for any field intervention. The automation apps will align feedback from AI models with active measurements and subscriber data – creating an accurate topology and digital twin of the active-passive fiber plant. This allows for more effective capacity, performance and health analysis with Nokia Altiplano apps after handover to the operations team

Modularity

The platform is highly modular, with modules which can integrate into your existing fiber rollout IT stack. Broadband Easy is not limited to one specific architecture: it supports the outside plant vendors and subcontractors of your choice, and is pre-integrated with Nokia Altiplano Access Controller and Nokia Design Center.
