Community broadband promotes success

Help your community thrive with ultra-broadband connectivity
Your city’s attractiveness and development now depend on fast, reliable ultra-broadband networks. These capabilities increase efficiency, boost productivity, and enhance services to citizens and businesses. Nokia can help you provide affordable, sustainable community broadband connectivity for your citizens. We have experience, expertise, and an end-to-end portfolio of products to fit your needs.
Challenge: Resolve complex issues
Community broadband projects face a range of complex issues, from the planning stages to completion. They include understanding market forces, obtaining upfront capital, and getting commitment from political leaders. In addition, legal concerns must be addressed, ranging from obtaining rights of way to satisfying construction requirements. Finally, important decisions must be made about network design and deployment.

The community broadband project phases include:
- Planning: Consultancy, business modeling, funding modeling, and risk mitigation
- Design: Design of the network and detailed infrastructure
- Building: Project governance, execution, installation and commissioning, operation readiness, and end-to-end testing
- Operating: Maintenance, building and commissioning a network operations center (NOC), and managing the interface to service provider networks

We also offer a leading portfolio of products and services. They include fixed and wireless ultra-broadband, IP and optical networking, operations and business subsystems (OSS/BSS), and professional services. Our agnostic approach helps you select the technologies that are best for meeting your financial and performance requirements.
