* Nokia technology lets Idea subscribers enjoy high-bandwidth services in
fiber-constrained areas
* Nokia's scalable optical technology means Idea can cost-efficiently offer
enhanced coverage and capacity to customers
September 27, 2017
New Delhi, India - Nokia will help Idea Cellular meet ever-increasing bandwidth
demand by deploying Nokia's 1830 Photonic Services Switch (PSS) based Wavelength
Division Multiplexing (WDM) solution. The optical transport network solution
will be implemented across fiber-constrained geographies on the Idea network.
Once the technology is deployed, Idea will be able to provide high-bandwidth
services to its subscribers.
Nokia's 1830 Photonic Services Switch allows service providers to extend reach
by providing a cost-effective alternative to expensive fiber. Nokia's solution
will be strategically deployed in fast-growing areas to allow Idea to offer
high-bandwidth services to its subscribers without worrying about the added load
on the network. Nokia WDM helps in creating a new access layer, is easily
scalable and ensures optimized power consumption and space utilization. The new
transport network will also be able to support the increased demand in the
future.
Anil Tandan, Chief Technology Officer, at Idea Cellular, said: "With the roll-
out of Idea's pan-India wireless broadband network in the last one year, we have
witnessed massive data growth leading to high bandwidth demand. We have a long
standing partnership with Nokia and we are confident that Nokia will bring the
same expertise and commitment in deploying optical network as it does in Radio,
Core and IP domains. This collaboration marks a new phase in our relationship,
and we look forward to leveraging Nokia's strength in optical network domain to
meet our requirement."
Nitin Dahiya, Head of Customer Team - Idea, at Nokia, said: "Through a
combination of new operator offerings, aggressive data plans and continued mass
adoption of smartphones, India has witnessed unprecedented data usage growth
since the beginning of 2017. We are delighted to be working with Idea to deploy
an optical transport network that will help address the high-bandwidth data
demands of its customers. It's an important collaboration for us, and we look
forward to working closely with Idea as a key technology partner in this new
chapter."
Overview of solutions to be used in deployment:
* Nokia 1830 Photonic Services Switch will help Idea to maximize network
capacity, reduce network total cost of ownership and meet unpredictable
traffic demands
* Nokia Professional services will be used for installing and commissioning,
project management, training and support for the smooth execution of the
project
