Nokia and Ljósleiðarinn (Reykjavik Fibre Network) to introduce next generation broadband to Iceland

Nokia announced that Ljósleiðarinn, a leading open access fiber provider in Iceland, is deploying its next generation Lightspan fiber access solution alongside the Altiplano access controller to deliver increased service offerings. Nokia’s solution will help Ljósleiðarinn modernize and establish a future-ready network capable of addressing the growing demand for more capacity and enhanced broadband services. Additionally this will give Ljósleiðarinn even more agility and speed in developing new services for customers. This transformation will enable Ljósleiðarinn greater flexibility in its already existing multi-gigabit offerings.

With Nokia’s Lightspan FX solution, Ljósleiðarinn can significantly enhance its network performance and gain the flexibility needed to better adapt to evolving customer demands. Capable of supporting multiple generations of PON technologies and point-to-point applications simultaneously, Ljósleiðarinn can better utilize its network and quickly add capacity whenever or wherever it's needed. Nokia’s Altiplano Access Controller is a software-defined (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV) system used to drive greater automation and virtualization. It enables innovation in the way the network is managed with an open API to automate and program the network. Additionally, enhanced automation tools and network insight capabilities help improve the management, scalability and reliability of Ljósleiðarinn’s network. Nokia’s next generation fiber solution will also help create a more sustainable, energy-efficient fiber network that will help reduce operational expenses.
