Converged optical transport network upgrade supports growing demand for AI-driven services<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nokia announced it has been selected by Orange Belgium as the sole supplier for a major transformation of the operator\u2019s transport infrastructure, unifying fixed and mobile networks into a single, converged optical transport network across Belgium.
\nThe multi-year project will modernize Orange Belgium\u2019s infrastructure to create a more resilient, secure and scalable network capable of supporting the growing demand for bandwidth across consumer and business services. The deployment will help Orange Belgium deliver a more seamless connectivity experience as demand continues to increase from machine learning applications, as well as remote working, video streaming, gaming and cloud services.
\nBy consolidating fixed and mobile transport infrastructure into a single network, Orange Belgium will also simplify operations and improve service delivery across its network. Nokia\u2019s AI-powered WaveSuite automation platform will help Orange Belgium to streamline network management, improve operational efficiency, and accelerate the time-to-market for new services.
\nThe modernized optical network will transport Orange Belgium\u2019s fixed and mobile traffic from customer-provided equipment through metro access and backbone infrastructure, supporting services from 1G to 400G and beyond. It also marks the first deployment of Nokia\u2019s high capacity 1830 PSS platform within an Orange affiliate for core optical transport.
\nThis multi-year project will leverage Nokia’s AI-powered network automation through the company\u2019s WaveSuite software solution, end-to-end synchronization management with a Nokia RAN installed base, higher resiliency with a GMPLS control plane, as well as the implementation of thin transponders based on the new high capacity 1830 PSS platform, marking a significant step forward in delivering reliable and secure connectivity for advanced services across Belgium.
\n\u201cAs 5G, AI and quantum safe security are defining forces in how people, businesses and machines connect, Orange Belgium is committed to building a network that not only meets the evolving demands of our customers but also strengthens Belgium\u2019s wider digital economy. Working with Nokia to unify our fixed and mobile optical networks into a state of the art single optical network is a cornerstone of that commitment.\u201d said Philippe Toussaint, CTO at Orange Belgium
\n\u201cThis collaboration with Orange Belgium is a significant project for Nokia. As AI becomes the defining workload of the digital economy, networks can no longer rely on linear growth or legacy architectures. By delivering leading optical networking solutions, Nokia is helping Orange Belgium build the resilient, AI-ready connectivity platform it needs to innovate, support new machine-to-machine and autonomous services, and deliver superior customer experiences for years to come.\u201d, said Guil Yazdi, VP, Client Executive, Orange at Nokia.<\/p>\n
