Nokia boosts Cosmote's network coverage and capacity throughout Greece using long-haul microwave packet transport technology
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Press Release
* Nokia deploys long-haul 9500 Microwave Packet Radio to increase backhaul
capacity and speed as residential and tourist demands grow in remote Greek
islands
* Cosmote will enable high-speed fixed and mobile Internet access in currently
underserved rural locations
May 2, 2017
Athens, Greece - Nokia has upgraded the long-haul microwave trunk network of
Cosmote, the mobile arm of OTE Group, Greece's largest telecoms provider, to
enhance its network capacity and performance, especially in rural locations
across the Greek islands.
The upgrade using Nokia 9500 Microwave Packet Radio technology will allow
Cosmote to meet growing residential and tourist demand for broadband access in
currently underserved parts of the islands. The technology will backhaul data at
speeds of 1Gbps via full IP connectivity serving mobile and fixed networks.
By upgrading the existing SDH-microwave trunk-based network, Cosmote was also
able to reuse existing passive radio equipment, taking advantage of significant
total cost of ownership savings compared to a new deployment.
Nokia's long-haul microwave technology will backhaul traffic generated across
several Aegean Islands, offering fiber-like connectivity and backhaul redundancy
to ensure reliability of network services. A key component of this deployment is
its use of microwave technology to deliver high-speed broadband connectivity to
the island of Kastellorizo, the most eastern of the Greek islands, which is more
than 150km away from the nearest network point of presence.
Technology and services deployed:
* Nokia 9500 Microwave Packet Radio
* Nokia services expertise including project management, design, installation
and commissioning and care services
Konstantinos Koroneos, head of the OTE/ Cosmote account at Nokia, said:
"Providing a network across a spread of islands provides its own unique
challenges. Nokia first demonstrated the capabilities of the 9500 MPR in a
demanding live field trial, and we are pleased to work with Cosmote as it
evolves its network in this commercial deployment."
