Nokia Siemens Networks Deploys Italy's First 100Gb/s Optical Fibre Network

Strategic Insights

— 2 min read

Nokia Siemens Networks has successfully deployed Italy's first 100Gb/s optical fibre network between Milan and Rome for broadband provider FASTWEB. This cutting-edge network will enable simultaneous transmission of up to 40 wavelengths of light, each carrying data at 100G, resulting in a total data transfer speed of up to 4Tb/s. The deployment utilizes Nokia Siemens Networks' Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) solution, which includes the hiT 7300 optical network platform and its network management system for planning and automation. The new network is expected to provide cost savings by adopting no dispersion compensation (DCM-free) techniques on new fibre or utilizing the operator's installed DWDM network infrastructure. In addition to the network deployment, the contract includes delivery of care services, including hardware and software maintenance as well as competence development.
