Nokia says modernized Subisu’s network with 400G fiber solution in Nepal

Finland’s Nokia Friday said it has deployed its 400G single fiber solution for Nepal’s Subisu, under a network modernization deal that covers the service provider’s 1,500 kilometers long backbone network spread across East and West Nepal.

The fiber solution, as per an official statement, is Nokia’s 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) platform that offers Photonic Service Engine (PSE) enabled 400G single fiber, bidirectional Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM).

This will provide ultra-high-speed broadband to Subisu’s retail and enterprise subscribers and allow it to address the growing bandwidth requirement and tap into new market segments, the statement added.

“We have been working with Nokia for a long time now, and their industry-leading products and solutions are helping us provide best-in-class broadband services to our subscribers. 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.

“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.
