Nokia has announced that it had been selected by Subisu, a leading service provider in Nepal, to modernize the 1500 km long backbone network spread across East and West Nepal. 

In a first-of-its-kind initiative in Nepal, Nokia has deployed its 400G single fiber solution to provide ultra-high-speed broadband to Subisu’s retail and enterprise subscribers. 

Nokia's solution allows Subisu to address the growing bandwidth requirement and break into new market segments. Subisu's customers will be able to use high-capacity applications and experience an overall improvement in the quality of services, Techglocal said quoting a company statement.

“Nokia was the sole vendor for this important project, and its solutions are enabling us to grow our subscriber base and provide a superior experience to our existing customers even as we future-proof our investments,” said Binaya Saud, CEO at Subisu.

Nokia's 400G single fiber solution significantly improves fiber capacity and helps Subisu enhance network resilience and reach while optimizing capex and reducing opex. The solution allows Subisu to easily scale the network to provide multi-terabits of capacity over a single fiber.  

“Our field-proven 1830 PSS solution is enabling service providers, like Subisu, to meet the growing capacity demand even as they enhance customer experience. We are pleased with the successful and timely completion of this crucial project to modernize Subisu's optical network, and we look forward to working with them in the future,” said Vinish Bawa, Head of Emerging Markets, Nokia India.
