Nokia launches FTTH digital twin and AI-powered tools to boost network reliability

• Nokia launches digital twin of the FTTH infrastructure, creating a single unified view of active and passive components.
• Introducing data analytics and AI models in Altiplano to detect, predict and resolve issues across greenfield and brownfield networks.
• Full digitalization of FTTH lifecycle keeps inventory accurate, improves operational efficiency and boosts FTTH reliability.

 

6 October 2025

Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced new software tools and AI-models that significantly improve operational efficiencies and enhance network reliability. The new digital features, part of Nokia's Altiplano platform, will enable operators to create a comprehensive digital twin of their FTTH network and establish a single unified view of active and passive components. This helps reduce operational cost and improve FTTH reliability, giving operators the capabilities to detect disruptions earlier and more quickly resolve incidents on the first attempt.

 

Operators deploying FTTH networks face limited visibility into the passive outside plant, resulting in inventory errors, costly repeat truck rolls, cost overruns and service delays. With better visibility to the outside plant, operators can fix problems faster, expand networks efficiently, and deliver more reliable broadband to their communities.

 

Nokia Altiplano gives operators a unified, real-time view of their FTTH networks, using automation tools to streamline processes and continuously validate inventory, topology, and resource data. Operators can also access Nokia's new Fiber Health Analyzer and Subscriber Line Identifier application from its growing Altiplano Marketplace. The new AI-powered Fiber Health Analyzer application allows operators to monitor the health of fiber links, audit the imported topology, isolate fiber faults, proactively detect issues, perform root cause analysis and improve service quality. With the new Subscriber Line Identify application, operators can verify splitter connectivity with minimal disruption or update inventory in real time to accurately reflect network realities.

 

The Altiplano digital twin capabilities are compatible with diverse inventory and geospatial software solutions, work effectively in greenfield or brownfield deployments, and come pre-integrated with Nokia Broadband Easy digital platform for automated fiber rollout and operations.

 

"We can help operators eliminate the blind spots associated with FTTH deployments by removing the need to look at the active and passive network independently. Our software tools and digital platforms provide a unified view of the network, allowing operators to detect issues faster and resolve them before they escalate. This results in significant operational advantages, cutting costs and improving both the reliability and accuracy of network builds," said Geert Heyninck, General Manager, Broadband Networks at Nokia.

 

"Nokia's automation and AI-powered tools not only help us to improve operational efficiencies but also enhance the reliability of our FTTH network. We can now detect disruptions earlier and resolve incidents more quickly to ultimately improve the subscriber experience," said Danvig De Bruyn, CEO, fibertime.

 

"Digital twins and AI tools will play an important role in autonomous networks. By unifying active and passive components in a single view, operators can minimize disruptions, resolve issues swiftly, and deliver reliable, cost-effective broadband that sets a new connectivity standard," said Jaimie Lenderman, Principal Analyst, Omdia.

Nokia and fibertime accelerate roll-out of fiber broadband access to underserved townships across South Africa

    

 

Press Release

Nokia and fibertime accelerate roll-out of fiber broadband access to underserved townships across South Africa

• Nokia fiber access and IP solutions help fibertime connect 400,000 homes in underserved townships and communities to high-speed broadband access.
• Nokia solutions allow fibertime to provide affordable broadband access to millions of low-income customers, many connecting for the very first time.
• Nokia's technologies are key to enabling fibertime flagship product: 5 Rand a day for uncapped, unthrottled internet.

 

6 October 2025

Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced that fibertime is expanding its fiber broadband access footprint to include an additional 400,000 homes located across South Africa's underserved communities. The broadband roll-out is part of fibertime's larger goal of connecting 2 million homes by 2028. Fibertime will deploy a combination of Nokia's IP and fiber access technologies to build semi-mobile networks in underserved areas, providing end-users with unlimited high-speed internet from anywhere in their home, business or community they live in.

Under the agreement, fibertime will deploy Nokia's Lightspan access nodes and Wi-Fi 6 enabled fiber access points, using Nokia's ONT Easy Start to automate and simplify the fiber modem activation process and streamline deployments. Fibertime will also use Nokia's 7750 Wireless Access Gateway, to create a single SSID on their network that allows customers to walk around the township and stay connected.

 

"With Nokia's support, we're able to significantly ramp up the roll-out of our low-cost, high-speed, fiber internet service to underserved township communities across South Africa.   We're now connecting 1,200 households a day to flexible, high-speed access - up to 950Mbps in some cases – without the need for contracts or debit orders. Once a township is connected, customers simply buy vouchers at a local spaza, retail outlet or via their banking app, enter the voucher number in their fibertime app, and immediately have access to unlimited and unthrottled fiber-to-the-home internet at a cost of R5 per day," said Danvig De Bruyn, CEO, fibertime.  

 

To help further drive automation and scale across its network, fibertime will also deploy Nokia's Altiplano and Network Services Platform solutions along with its Altiplano Fiber Health Analyzer which can detect network anomalies and identify potential issues before they escalate.

 

"Nokia's automation and AI-powered tools not only help us to improve operational efficiencies but also enhance the reliability of our FTTH network. We can now detect disruptions earlier and resolve incidents more quickly to ultimately improve the subscriber experience," said Danvig De Bruyn, CEO, fibertime.

 

"Reliable broadband is critical for thriving communities—powering education, healthcare, and local economies. Yet too many people remain unconnected because of the unique challenges tied to where they live. With our fiber and IP solutions, we're changing that, bringing broadband services to thousands of customers at once, in regions once considered too difficult to serve," said Sandy Motley, President, Fixed Networks, Nokia.  

 

The agreement to connect an additional 400,000 homes builds on a previous announcement between Nokia and fibertime™ to deploy FTTH networks across Cape Town, Johannesburg, Gqeberha, Mangaung and Stellenbosch.

Nokia strengthens leadership in AI-ready data center networks with successful end-to-end Ultra Ethernet test across data center switch family

    

 

Press Release

Nokia strengthens leadership in AI-ready data center networks with successful end-to-end Ultra Ethernet test across data center switch family

 

• AI workloads place new demands on data center networking infrastructure, requiring exceptionally low latency, zero packet loss, and vast bandwidth at extreme-scale.
• New Ultra Ethernet Transport (UET) layer addresses complex demands of High-Performance Computing (HPC)/AI.
• Successful end-to-end test of UET traffic across Nokia's data center switches verifies the product family's high performance, scalability, and reliability for AI workloads.

 

1 October 2025

Espoo, Finland – Nokia, in collaboration with Keysight Technologies, today announced the successful end-to-end testing of UET traffic across its family of high-performance data center switching platforms, including the Nokia 7220 Interconnect Router (IXR) and 7250 IXR. The test demonstrates Nokia's compatibility with and commitment to integrating Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC) Specification 1.0 capabilities into its HPC/AI-ready networking portfolio and reinforces its leadership in building extreme-scale, lossless, low-latency networks for modern data centers built for the AI era.

 

AI is driving a fundamental rethink of data center operations. Real-time training and inference demand ultra-low latency, while even minor packet loss can derail training jobs and delay completion. Combined with massive bandwidth requirements, these pressures are pushing existing data center networks to their limits.

 

Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC) Specification 1.0 defines this new UET layer to solve the complex problem set that HPC/AI creates. With Ethernet widely adopted across most data networks worldwide, it is a compelling protocol for modernizing AI data center networks with new standards, best practices, and architectures to support AI and HPC workloads. As an active member of the UEC, Nokia is committed to leveraging UET as a highly compatible, cost-effective, and interoperable part of AI and HPC application stacks.

 

he procedure tested 800 GE interfaces with flows of UET traffic generated by Keysight's AresONE 800GE-8P-QDD-M testing platform over a network that spanned all variants of the Nokia 7220 IXR-H5 and the Nokia 7250 IXR-10e platforms. These Nokia switches were running the SR Linux Network Operating System (NOS).

 

As Nokia integrates UEC Specification 1.0 capabilities into the Nokia data center fabric solution for HPC/AI networks, global customers already have immediate commercial access to an AI-ready and UEC-compatible portfolio with support for Remote Direct Memory Access over Converged Ethernet (RoCEv2) and Data Center Quantized Congestion Notification (DCQCN). The current support for RoCEv2 was also tested at 800 GE flows in parallel on the same testbed, showcasing coexistence, openness, and flexibility.

 

Rudy Hoebeke, Vice President, Software Product Management at Nokia, said: "AI is changing the game when it comes to expected performance in AI data center networks. This successful demonstration with Keysight of UET traffic over Nokia's 7220 IXR and 7250 IXR product families demonstrates our commitment to the UEC and provides clear evidence that Nokia is a leader in this evolution, with one of the industry's most robust portfolios for HPC/AI-ready data center networking."

 

Ram Periakaruppan, Vice President and GM, Network Applications & Security business at Keysight, said: "This is an inflection point in the networking world as a new standard is adopted for AI networking. Ultra Ethernet is enabling the next generation scale-out fabrics that will power 100K+ AI clusters with innovation from PHY/Link layer to Transport and application layer. This test with Nokia represents another significant milestone in the evolution of networking for AI. At Keysight, we're helping shape this standard by co-leading UEC working groups and ensuring specifications are practical, verifiable, and interoperable. With our early interoperability efforts, we're accelerating adoption and unlocking the next wave of innovation."
