Nokia’s solution will enable CG NET to offer fastest broadband speeds in the market and competitive service offering for IPTV, gaming, remote work and remote education, the company said 

In addition, it will allow for efficient future upgrade to next-generation technologies and Software Defined Access networks, leveraging the same access platform. The project includes Nokia consumer fiber modems to ensure premium digital experiences within the user premises.
