- Next-Generation Coherent Optical Engine evolution to efficiently scale network capacity
- How Coherent Pluggable Optics applications are expanding to enable efficient solutions for terrestrial backhaul and trans-oceanic subsea links
- Enabling cable security with coherent fiber sensing
- How we help network operators turn-up complex multi-country subsea-terrestrial networks, leveraging Nokia’s extensive deployment experience and global service and support.
Learn more about our innovations
Meet with our solution experts to learn more about the latest innovations in Nokia’s subsea network solutions, including:
- Latest advances in performance-optimized and pluggable coherent optics to maximize capacity and lower TCO in subsea networks
- How to optimize terrestrial backhaul networks to reduce space and power at the CLS and maximize capacity using C+L WDM.
- New coherent fiber sensing solutions to help secure, monitor and optimize subsea and terrestrial fiber networks
- See how to optimize space and power at cable landing sites with our “SLTE-in-a-box” solution demo
- How Nokia can impact your business; with monetization strategies for spectrum and spectrum sharing, simplified operations with nodal, link and network automation, reduced backhaul costs with Super C+L, and on-time cable activation with expertise in multi-country deployments and complex supply chain management.
