Nokia bags broadband deal from Nepal’s CG NET

Finnish telecoms gear maker Nokia Thursday said it will deploy its Gigabit Passive Optical Networking (GPON) solution for Nepal’s CG NET as part of an extensive Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) rollout across the Kathmandu valley.

The networking solution will allow CG NET to scale its network in line with the growing demand for a high-speed broadband network due to the increased consumption of video, OTT content, and online education.

Further, CG NET will be able to leverage Nokia’s solution for offering fast broadband speed and competitive service offering for IPTV, gaming, remote work, and remote education.

In addition, it will allow for efficient future upgrades to next-generation technologies and Software-Defined Access networks, leveraging the same access platform.

The project also includes Nokia consumer fiber modems.

“Nepal’s broadband market is increasingly competitive. CG NET has all the potential and ambition to become a digitally innovative responsible telecom group. We are confident that Nokia’s solution will enable us to be fast to market with reliable, high-speed services, and position us for future growth,” said Nirvana Chaudhary, Managing Director, CG NET.

“Nokia has experience and expertise to support operators in diverse markets in addressing their unique challenges. We are excited to work with CG NET to build a high capacity network that will enable them to address new opportunities and deliver exciting experiences to the subscribers,” added Vinish Bawa, Head of Emerging Business at Nokia India.
