Nokia 100G Optical Portfolio Supports India 4G Network

2017-04-25
Nokia has provided its optical core and metro solution for Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited's (Jio) pan-India 4G LTE network to handle the massive
traffic growth fuelled by the operator's initiative to build broadband connectivity for all of India. Spanning 90,000 km in one of the biggest 100G
deployments in the world, the Nokia transport network allows Jio to offer innovative, high-capacity services to underserved regions in India
as well as a nationwide long-distance (NLD) service. 


Over the last six months, Jio has clocked unprecedented subscriber growth as a result of its plan to bring India into the top ten broadband
countries in the world. With broadband penetration at less than 20%, according to the International Telecommunications Union, most
of India's population is still underserved. Recognizing this massive growth potential, Jio deployed Nokia's high-capacity transport network to
offer high-bandwidth services such as video streaming, multimedia content distribution and cloud and business services to its rapidly increasing subscriber base. 

Nokia's optical solution provides a transport network designed to offer high-speed broadband connectivity and communication
services for both fixed and wireless users. Jio has deployed Nokia's 1830 Photonic Service Switch including 100G Dense Wavelength
Division Multiplexing (DWDM) capabilities enhanced with Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) intelligence to support
capacity management and restoration. The new transport network supports the rapid deployment of new services as network demand increases.

"In only 170 days, Jio has signed on 100 million new users. With growth rates of this magnitude we had to ensure we deployed the highest capacity,
most resilient transport network to build out the 4G network. Nokia's next-generation DWDM portfolio provides the ability to scale easily as Jio
continues to expand the network to reach the underserved areas of India with digital services in key areas such as communication, education,
healthcare, payments and multi-media entertainment," says Mr Jyotindra Thacker, President at Reliance Jio.

"The government's vision for digitization across the country, combined with Jio's goal of making broadband a basic service for all citizens,
means broadband penetration will grow quickly in India. The Nokia solution not only provides the speed and capacity necessary for this growth,
but it also ensures a more reliable service for the customers. This deployment strengthens Nokia's presence in India's optical market
where our foothold spans from metro to backbone networks," says Sam Bucci, head of Nokia's Optical Business

    With the continuous development of 5G communication technology, 100G modules are gradually becoming popular. We know that there are many kinds of packages for 100G optical modules. From 2000 to now, the optical module package types have been rapidly developed. Its main package types are: GBIC, SFP, XENPAK, SNAP12, X2, XFP, SFP+, QSFP/QSFP+, CFP, CXP. In the fast-developing network era, some 100G optical modules avoid the risk of being eliminated, and upgraded and revised with the wave of the Internet, such as 100G CFP optical modules.

    1. What is the CWDM SFP? The CWDM optical module is an optical module using CWDM technology to implement the connection between the existing network device and the CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer. When used with a CWDM multiplexer/demultiplexer, CWDM optical modules can increase network capacity by transmitting multiple data channels with separate optical wavelengths (1270 nm to 1610 nm) on the same single fiber.

    AOC is the abbreviation of Active Optical Cables, which is called Active Optical Cables in Chinese. AOC active optical is to encapsulate two optical modules and cable together. Because the medium of transmission in the middle is optical cable, AOC optical module, which contains laser devices, has a higher price for DAC. However, its optical aperture is not exposed, it has high reliability, and its working distance can be customized for a long distance of less than 100 meters.

    Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology is capable of transmitting data in an optical fiber using bit wavelength parallel transmission or string line transmission using the wavelength of the laser.It is widely used in different fields of communication networks, including long-distance backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), residential access networks, and local area networks (LANs).The DWDM optical module is the optical module that uses this technology, so the DWDM optical module has high bandwidth and long-distance transmission characteristics.
