Nokia has confirmed that Canal+ Telecom, a subsidiary of Canal+ Group, which operates in Overseas Departments and Territories (DOM-TOM), will deploy its Lightspan and Altiplano solution to support the transformation of its fiber network across French Guiana and Guadeloupe.
The deployment will help Canal+ Group address the growing demand for more capacity and help drive higher levels of automation in Canal+ Telecom’s network and service operations.
Canal+ will deploy Nokia’s Lightspan Mini Optical Line Terminal (OLT) solution to help accelerate the roll out of Fiber-to-the Home (FTTH) services across the French Caribbean territories. With its compact footprint, the solution offers Canal+ Telecom a high-capacity, low-density fiber option ideal for island deployments and for serving areas with lower population density. Nokia’s Lightspan fiber solution allows Canal+ to future-proof its network and seamlessly evolve to 25G PON as needed.
Canal+ Telecom will also leverage Nokia’s Altiplano solution to manage its entire access network more effectively and achieve greater operational efficiencies.
“As the first operator in the Caribbean to adopt Nokia’s Altiplano platform, we are pioneering intelligent network automation that anticipates and resolves issues proactively, ensuring exceptional reliability and an elevated experience for our customers,” said Laurent Champouret, Head of Network and Fixed Access Engineering, Canal+Telecom.
“For the people and businesses of French Guiana, Martinique and Guadeloupe, our deal with Canal+ Telecom demonstrates an important step towards a more connected future, “said Matthieu Bourguignon, Senior Vice-President, Network Infrastructure, Europe, Nokia.
