Sodvin AS, a provider of telecommunications and energy solutions, is leveraging Ciena’s fiber broadband platform to improve the capacity and reach of its residential broadband services throughout Trøndelag county, Norway.
Utilizing its existing power infrastructure, Sodvin is deploying fiber-optic networks to extend broadband access to residents and businesses in the region. Ciena’s XGS-PON solution replaces previously deployed GPON technology, enabling the delivery of services such as internet and multicast television.
Sodvin’s new residential broadband network incorporates key components of Ciena’s PON solution, including 5164 Routers, XGS-PON uOLTs (micro optical line terminals), and 3801 ONUs (optical network units). Ciena’s uOLT pluggables allow Sodvin to expand deployment rapidly, easily, and sustainably, adding capacity in granular increments to match customer demand. XGS-PON can deliver symmetrical speeds of up to 10 Gb/s both downstream and upstream.
Virginie Hollebecque, Vice President of Europe, Middle East, and Africa at Ciena, stated, “Sodvin’s choice of Ciena’s broadband solution shows their commitment to staying at the forefront of technology, enabling them to deliver higher-speed services with unmatched flexibility and scalability to unlock new possibilities for their customers while reducing environmental impacts. We are delighted to count Sodvin as a customer, who supports the transition to a greener future through the use of sustainable technology.”
