Nokia Deploys Multi gig Fiber Broadband for Valoo in Finland

Nokia announced that it will deploy a 10G broadband network for Finnish operator Valoo. This protocol includes fiber optic access nodes for central offices and Nokia’s Altiplano broadband access controller, which includes software defined access network (SDAN) functionality. By the end of 2026, the new network will connect 200000 households in approximately 30 cities.
Nokia’s Quillion chipset is the core of the solution, and when Valoo wants to add more capacity, XGS-PON deployment is ready for 25G PON. Quillion also means lower emissions.
Tommi Linna, CEO of Valoo, stated: Through Nokia’s advanced Lightspan multi gig fiber broadband solution, we can provide customers with the best technology in the fiber world. This solution enables us to provide network connectivity to multiple customers using the same fiber and accelerate internet connectivity to 20Gb or higher. With Nokia’s new Altiplano controller, we can bring advanced open access network solutions to the Finnish market.

Last but not least, compared to traditional point-to-point solutions, Nokia’s multi gig fiber optic has improved energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprint by 95%. I am extremely proud that we are the first fiber optic company in Finland to implement Nokia Multi gig fiber optic to customers – starting this spring
Valoo (Adola Oy) is wholly-owned by DIF Capital Partners, an independent infrastructure equity fund that controls investments of over 15 billion euros worldwide. Valoo focuses on fiber broadband access and is conducting large-scale fiber optic development in the Finnish market. In February of this year, the company announced that in addition to building a fiber optic network, it will also provide its own internet service subscriptions and provide its network to third-party operators.
Sandy Motley, President of Nokia Fixed Network, said, “With our Altiplano controller, Valoo has laid the foundation for the automation of broadband access networks, which is crucial for operators seeking innovation in advanced digital broadband products while keeping their operating expenses under control.”
