The companies said the approach would reduce power consumption, optimise space and lower network expansion costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The deployment targets key connectivity corridors where AI workloads, cloud services and data centre interconnection are driving demand for higher bandwidth and more efficient optical transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nokia\u2019s network automation technology will also be introduced, giving Telxius greater visibility and control across its optical network. The platform will support fault and performance monitoring alongside coordinated service provisioning, helping improve operational efficiency and service predictability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rollout follows a demonstration of Nokia ICE-X 800G ZR+ coherent pluggable optics over Telxius\u2019 BRUSA subsea cable. The trial achieved 400Gb\/s per wavelength across more than 5,600km, highlighting the technology\u2019s potential for ultra-long-haul subsea infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jes\u00fas Mar\u00eda Rubio, Chief Technology and Information Officer, Telxius, said the deployment would strengthen the company\u2019s ability to deliver high-capacity, resilient and energy-efficient connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ron Johnson, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Optical Networks, Nokia, said rising AI traffic between hyperscale data centres and network hubs required greater scalability, efficiency and operational simplicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project will also strengthen integration between Telxius\u2019 terrestrial and subsea networks across Latin America.
