Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) announced a partnership with Service Electric Cablevision (SECV) in Pennsylvania to deploy Nokia’s 25 Gigabit PON (Passive Optical Network) Fiber solution. SECV plans to enhance its broadband services for over 200,000 homes with this advanced fiber infrastructure.
As digital connectivity becomes increasingly crucial, fiber networks are key to meeting rising demand for high-speed and reliable broadband. SECV, a pioneer in cable systems since 1948, is upgrading its infrastructure to meet these evolving demands.
Implementing Pennsylvania’s first 25G PON fiber to the home network will enable SECV to deliver ultrafast broadband services and strengthen its position as a leading cable operator in the region. Nokia’s 25G PON solution, powered by a Quillion chipset, allows for seamless deployment with existing infrastructure. It offers significant symmetrical bandwidth capacity, enabling SECV to provide symmetrical 10Gb/s network services to homes and businesses.
Nokia’s solutions also enable a smooth transition to future-proof technologies like 50G and 100G PON, aligning with market trends. The 25G PON technology offers superior performance, reliability, and scalability compared to DOCSIS-based networks.
Additionally, Nokia is installing the SF-8M sealed fiber access node, the world’s first 25G PON capable node-based optical line terminal. This ensures consistent high-speed broadband services, even in challenging outdoor environments.
While Nokia faces challenges in its Fixed Networks portfolio, including a slowdown in fiber investments in North America, the collaboration with SECV is expected to partially offset this trend. Nokia remains well-positioned in the technology cycle with its end-to-end portfolio, including high-capacity AirScale products for quick 5G upgrades. The company has 319 commercial 5G deals globally and 110 live 5G networks.
Despite a 22.1% decline in its stock over the past year, Nokia continues to expand its presence in the evolving telecommunications market, offering advanced solutions to meet the growing demand for high-speed broadband services.
