Nokia announced that CG NET will deploy its Gigabit Passive Optical Networking (GPON) solution as part of an extensive Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) roll-out across the Kathmandu Valley.

• Nokia is the sole supplier providing high-speed broadband services to consumers and enterprises.

• The roll-out will initially cover 5000 kms with fiber network in the dense urban area of Kathmandu Valley.

Nokia’s solution will allow CG NET to cost-effectively scale its network in line with the growing demand for a high-speed broadband network due to increased consumption of video, OTT content, and online education.

Nokia’s solution will enable CG NET to offer the fastest broadband speeds in the market and competitive service offering for IPTV, gaming, remote work and remote education.

In addition, it will allow for efficient future upgrade to next-generation technologies and Software-Defined Access networks, leveraging the same access platform.

The project includes Nokia consumer fiber modems to ensure premium digital experiences within the user premises.

Nokia is a global market leader in fiber broadband with more than 300 GPON deployments worldwide.

Nirvana Chaudhary, Managing Director, CG NET, said: “There is a growing demand for high-speed, quality broadband as people are using the internet for every aspect of their lives. Nepal’s broadband market is increasingly competitive. CG NET has all the potential and ambition to become a digitally innovative, responsible telecom group. We are confident that Nokia’s solution will enable us to be fast to market with reliable, high-speed services, and position us for future growth.”

Vinish Bawa, Head of Emerging Business at Nokia India, said: “Fiber broadband is being deployed in almost every country. With more than 1,000 broadband projects worldwide, Nokia has the experience and expertise to support operators in diverse markets in addressing their unique challenges. We are excited to work with CG NET to build a high capacity network that will enable them to address new opportunities and deliver exciting experiences to the subscribers.”

Nokia today announced that it has joined forces with Tampere University to establish a ‘Center of Excellence’ to enhance the development of System-on-Chip (SoC) custom processors for its ReefShark chipset portfolio.

The partnership, which will be based at the University campus, aims to accelerate the introduction of the technology into Nokia’s ReefShark chipset portfolio. It will also enhance Nokia’s silicon capabilities and development of proprietary SoCs. The Center of Excellence is expected to open in November this year.

The purpose of the partnership is to accelerate the development of proprietary SoC chipsets, including their design and manufacture, to improve time-to-market and to build a long-term SoC development competence and a foundation for technology leadership. The joint venture will also target an annual chip cadence with ecosystem partners, and see Nokia contribute to the module and physical implementation.

Nokia will also explore areas such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and security hardware development as well as open-source hardware-based SoCs. Nokia’s global reach will support Tampere University with future research projects as well as guide them in their approach to educating the engineers of the future.

The project is supported by Business Finland through Nokia’s Veturi initiative that drives industrial 5G and ecosystem development with industry partners and leading universities. Nokia has maintained a close partnership with Tampere University since its ‘Nokia Innovation Center’ was co-located with the University in the 2000s. 

Jyrki Vuorinen, Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences at Tampere University: “We are excited to partner with Nokia to develop custom silicon System-on-Chip solutions for 5G infrastructure. This is an exciting joint project that accelerates silicon innovation and ultimately enables operators to realize the benefits of 5G. We have recruited a professor of practice and started the recruitment process of two international professorships.”

Ari Kynaslahti, Head of Product Management at Nokia said: “This important collaboration highlights our continued commitment to developing our ReefShark chipset portfolio and ensures that Nokia 5G solutions deliver best-in-class performance to our customers. We look forward to working closely and collaboratively with Tampere University on this exciting venture.”

Nokia is a global leader in 5G with the industry's only end-to-end portfolio that is available globally. With more than 150 commercial engagements underway, our 5G solutions, software, and services allow our customers to take advantage of the promise of this next generation of network technology.
