Nokia (NOK) Introduces 25G PON Kit for High-Speed Connectivity

Nokia Corporation NOK recently introduced the 25G PON (Passive optical networking) starter kit solution, aimed at accelerating the deployment of high-speed connectivity for enterprises while helping operators maximize their revenue potential. Fiber networks have rapidly become the backbone of the entire telecommunications industry. To match the growing demand for reliable connectivity, operators need a fiber network that is faster and cost-efficient.

Nokia's symmetrical 25G PON solution effectively addresses these requirements and significantly enhances the capacity of fiber broadband. The 25G PON solution, based on Quillion chipset, is designed for easy deployment, as it can seamlessly coexist with existing GPON and XGS-PON technologies. Each kit included in this offering has the capability to connect up to ten businesses, providing a comprehensive suite of fiber technology necessary to deliver 1G, 10G, and 25G PON services. This capability empowers operators to swiftly boost the capacity of their current fiber resources.

In today’s fast-paced world, 10Gbs connectivity speed is considered to be the standard for businesses. High-speed and dependable connectivity plays a pivotal role in enhancing productivity, fostering collaboration among diverse teams, simplifying the use of cloud-based applications, virtual reality and leveraging the true potential of advanced AI. In essence, 10Gbps and higher speed can improve the competitiveness of an enterprise.

Nokia has successfully dispatched over a million 25G PON-ready ports so far and 25G PON is ready for activation in more than 150 networks worldwide. The solution brings ample possibilities for service providers to unlock new avenues of monetization, capitalizing 10 Gb+ service opportunities.

Nokia is driving the transition of global enterprises into smart virtual networks by creating a single network for all services, converging mobile and fixed broadband, IP routing and optical networks with the software and services to manage them. Leveraging state-of-the-art technology, it is transforming the way people and things communicate and connect with each other. These include a seamless transition to 5G technology, ultra-broadband access, IP and Software Defined Networking, cloud applications and Internet of Things.

Given the strength of its end-to-end portfolio, Nokia is well-positioned for the ongoing technology cycle. The company’s deal win rate is encouraging, with notable successes in key 5G markets. Its installed base of high-capacity AirScale products, which enable customers to quickly upgrade to 5G, is growing rapidly.

The stock has declined 24.4% in the past year compared with the industry’s fall of 22.2%.
