NEW DELHI: Technology giant Nokia on Thursday said that it will be introducing a set of fiber access solutions that deliver on the capacity and latency requirements required for mobile transport. The operators will be able to reduce CAPEX of mobile backhaul by 50% by leveraging fixed networks.The solution will allow operators to make use of existing passive optical networks used in Fiber-to-the-home ( FTTH ) deployments.The 10Gbps passive optical network ( PON) and point-to-point (P2P) fiber to its mobile transport solution will provide operators the capacity, scale and flexibility needed to support 5G network.The solution eliminates the need to create parallel and dedicated networks thereby allowing operators to cost-effectively connect radio cells to a fixed network at scale and gradually introduce more bandwidth as service needs increase.“We take the guesswork out of the equation. Our solution allows operators to access existing PON networks that have virtually unlimited capacity to meet their needs today, with the added flexibility to add 10G PON evolutions gradually as demand for more bandwidth and services increases,” said Federico Guillen , president of Nokia Fixed Networks.“The massive throughput and cell densification strategy of 5G make it a perfect match for existing FTTH deployments," added Guillen.The mobile transport solution includes new enhancements to its 7360 ISAM FX access node and 7368 ISAM ONT optical network termination devices. It is also being used as part of a Bell Labs proof-of-concept that demonstrates the flexibility of 10G symmetrical PON networks for low latency applications such as mobile fronthaul.
