Nokia and Elisa become first in Europe to trial 100G PON over live Broadband / fixed access network
Nokia today announced Elisa, a Finnish market leader in telecommunications and digital services, will deploy its Lightspan MF solution to enhance its existing fiber network and deliver new ultra-broadband services to customers across Finland. Leveraging Nokia’s fiber solution, Elisa will be the first service provider in Europe to demonstrate 25G, 50G, and 100G PON services, highlighting the superior broadband speeds it can deliver across its existing fiber network.
“Nokia’s fiber solution will help us significantly enhance our fiber network to deliver some of the fastest internet speeds in the world. We’re excited to be the first in Europe to show up to 100G PON speeds in a live fiber network trial and demonstrate the world-class capabilities we can deliver to support the next generation of broadband services. By partnering with Nokia, we can showcase our commitment to guaranteeing the best, high-quality services for our customers. History has shown that it is impossible to forecast all the new use cases for greater speeds, i.e. what new 25 to 100G connections will enable in the future, but we know that for example online gaming and industrial users are among the first to benefit from ever faster broadband connections.”
