- Simplifies transition to ultra-broadband access while ensuring predictable outcomes on return on investment, time to market and quality of broadband evolution
- Builds on decades of expertise, automation tools and processes to help service providers design, plan, build and operate ultra-broadband networks more efficiently
Espoo, Finland - Nokia announced the launch of its
Gigabit Smart Build portfolio to help service providers build
ultra-broadband networks easily and more cost-efficiently. The portfolio
consists of a set of services, processes and automated tools, and is
based on Nokia's expertise accumulated from decades of experience in
designing and rolling out ultra-broadband networks and network
transformation.
In
a highly competitive market, service providers need to constantly
upgrade their broadband networks and deliver more bandwidth to more
people, sooner. Introducing new technology evolutions in networks and
keeping customers happy and loyal while growing market share is a huge
challenge. Broadband upgrade programs run the risk of being delayed or
run over budget due to inefficiencies and unexpected hurdles with
planning and implementation - not to mention the impact on communities
of never-ending civil works, digging up roads and entering buildings to
install new infrastructure.
Gigabit
Smart Build simplifies the process of introducing and commercializing
new technology and products, and makes sure that the broadband networks
will support competitive services for many years to come. It applies a
3-step approach to broadband evolution that address specific pain points
while planning, deploying and operationalizing
- Preparing for Gigabit: Nokia Bell Labs' patented Business and Technology Modeling tools help build viable and accurate business cases and select the right technology and strategy to move to Gigabit. Next to that, we share real-world experience and expertise with our customers through our Innovation Management service and collaborate closely to accelerate the time-to-market for new products and technology.
- Deploying Gigabit: The Network Build Control Management service controls and automates end-to-end network rollout resulting in cost-efficiencies, a faster roll-out and a first-time-right network build. This complements our ONT Easy Start solution launched last year, which allows end-users to activate the Optical Network Terminal themselves, reducing installation and activation costs by 40+%.
- Managing and Optimizing Gigabit: Patented methodologies and tools speed up and simplify migration of legacy broadband networks. In addition, the Network Assessment & Health Check tool analyzes big data to provide insight into network performance and capacity management. Network software upgrades are performed faster and at higher quality through systematic upgrades.
Applying Gigabit Smart Build with customers throughout the world has shown the following benefits:
- Assured quality: The service reduces rollout errors by a factor of three by controlling end-to-end network rollout and automating.
- Fastest time to market: The service cuts time-to-market in half by minimizing preparation time, accelerating rollouts and increasing rollout volume.
- Maximum ROI: The Service increases return on investment (ROI) as it helps operators choose the best evolution path with more than 95% accuracy, optimizing rollouts and lifecycle management, and reducing legacy migration costs.
Nokia
has recently run more than 10 key programs with customers worldwide,
upgrading and transforming their wireline broadband access networks.
Federico Guillén, president of Nokia's Fixed Networks Business Group, said: "Successfully rolling out Gigabit networks relies on three factors: experience, expertise and automation. Our
unparalleled track record of innovation and holistic approach cover all
aspects of the evolution to Gigabit networks. Basically, it comes down
to taking the guesswork out of broadband network roll-outs.This delivers
tremendous benefits and predictable results in terms of time-to-market,
cost reductions and first-time-right execution, while sharply reducing
any disruptions for communities and citizens."
Julie Kunstler, Principal Analyst at OVUM, said:
"A recent network transformation survey we conducted confirmed that
service providers face numerous network transformation challenges, such
as choosing the best technology strategy and understanding its impact on
future upgrades, identifying new revenue opportunities and meeting
rollout targets and network optimization goals. Many of the cited
challenges can be mitigated through enhanced vendor relationships with
telecom partners such as Nokia."
