Nokia selected by Service Electric Cablevision to build 25G PON-based Fiber-To-The-Home network

Nokia announced that Service Electric Cablevision (SECV), a leading cable operator in eastern Pennsylvania, is using Nokia’s industry-leading fiber broadband equipment to support a multi-gigabit broadband service for both existing and new subscribers. With the Nokia 25GS-PON-based fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network, SECV can provide a true 10Gb/s symmetrical broadband service to households and businesses today, and scale upwards as customer needs grow. Renowned for pioneering the world's first cable system in 1948, Service Electric Cablevision continues its legacy of customer and community commitment by introducing this ultrafast broadband access network.

Service Electric Cablevision will deploy Nokia’s MF-14 and MF-2 chassis-based Optical Line Terminals (OLTs) into its network which is expected to pass over 200,00 homes across Pennsylvania. The fiber technology from Nokia will allow SECV to offer XGS-PON (10Gb/s) and 25G PON capabilities today, and seamlessly evolve to 50G and 100G PON technologies in the future. Additionally, SECV is utilizing Nokia’s SF-8M, the world's first 25G PON capable node-based OLT, ensuring highly reliable, high-speed broadband service even in challenging outdoor environments.
