Nokia and Vodafone Turkey
trial first intercontinental
Terabit IP
link
- Milestone links Asia and Europe IP traffic in a single 1T clear
channel to help prepare operator’s network for the future
28 June 2021
Espoo, Finland
– Nokia today
announced it has
successfully completed
a trial with
Vodafone Turkey,
linking Asia and Europe
with the first intercontinental
1T (terabit)
clear-channel IP
interface. The
network capacity
milestone is part of
an ongoing
modernization effort to
future-proof Vodafone Turkey’s IP
architecture.
Changing internet traffic patterns from consumers, home workers
and businesses are pushing the capacity limits of operators’
networks. As they look to combine gigabit capable fixed and
wireless access technologies, the IP networks that carry this
broadband traffic need to scale to keep up.
Using Nokia’s 7950 XRS routers with terabit interfaces powered
by Nokia’s FP4 chipset, the two companies could scale up the
capacity of Vodafone Turkey’s IP network in support of next
generation applications and access technologies. Nokia’s FP4
terabit linecard offers two 1T ports and demonstrated deployment
readiness by carrying test traffic on Vodafone Turkey’s network.
Besides a 10x boost in capacity, terabit IP links simplify
operational complexity and cost overhead by avoiding the need to
distribute terabit flows on high capacity routes over multiple
lower rate interfaces in link aggregation groups.
The trial is part of an ongoing modernization effort to
transform Vodafone Turkey’s IP network. Nokia is delivering a
multi-access mobile transport architecture that will enable the
operator to evolve its transport infrastructure in a changing
industry. Nokia’s 7250 IXR interconnect router and FP4-based 7750
Service Router portfolios have already been deployed for the
delivery of high capacity, low latency 5G services to Vodafone
Turkey’s customers. Nokia’s platforms support the features and
protocols that will enable SDN control automation and optimization
of applications and use cases.
Thibaud
Rerolle,
CTO, at Vodafone
Turkey,
said: “As we ramp up our
delivery of new services, we are committed to providing the best
possible quality of experience to our customers. We continue to
rely on Nokia to evolve our IP network with industry-leading router
innovation and technology to address our needs today and for next
generation services."
Vach Kompella, Head of
IP Networks Division, Nokia,
said: “Today’s IP networks are
expected to handle hundreds of new applications and services for
millions of users. The 1T trial builds upon Nokia’s advanced
routing technology and platforms to future-proof Vodafone Turkey’s
IP network, which serves one of the world’s largest
intercontinental markets. Together we have successfully validated
Nokia’s FP4 based 1T clear channel interface across Asia and
Europe.”
