CommScope and Nokia has announced a joint initiative to streamline fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments in Asia-Pacific (APAC) by integrating CommScope FLX ODN non-hardened connectorised terminals with the Nokia Broadband Easy digital automation platform for fibre rollout. The combined, turn-key solution gives service providers a digitised and assured path to FTTH with unprecedented accuracy, speed, and automation.
The CommScope FLX ODN plug-and-play fibre access terminals use advanced indexing and connectorised technology to eliminate field splicing while remaining modular and scalable. The solution is integrated with the Nokia Broadband Easy digital automation platform, allowing customers to centrally manage the entire fibre deployment process with AI-driven automation and quality assurance, from design to operations. The result is higher-quality fibre networks that are faster to deploy, more cost efficient, and ready for the future.
Commenting on the announcement, Andrew Bond-Webster, vice president, broadband APAC, CommScope, said, “One of the most persistent challenges in FTTH field deployments is achieving precise installation and provisioning of network components. By integrating Nokia Broadband Easy with the CommScope FLX ODN solution, we are empowering service providers to get it right the first time, every time. This minimises rework, enables the use of less specialised technicians, and enhances rollout accuracy. The CommScope FLX ODN platform is instrumental in lowering total cost of ownership, accelerating time to market, and reducing unnecessary truck rolls, delivering greater operational efficiency and cost savings.”
Meanwhile, Vimal Kothandaraman, vice president, APAC fixed networks business centre, Nokia, said, “With Broadband Easy, we are transforming fibre deployment, making it simpler, faster, and more cost-efficient for operators. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI) alongside our deep expertise in fibre network design, and integrating the CommScope FLX ODN solution, we are not only helping operators to save costs and reduce rollout times but also enabling them to accelerate delivery of high-speed connectivity to the next billion homes.”
