Nokia today announced it has been selected by Orange Belgium as the sole supplier for a major transformation of the operator’s transport infrastructure, unifying fixed and mobile networks into a single, converged optical transport network across Belgium.
The multi-year project will modernize Orange Belgium’s infrastructure to create a more resilient, secure and scalable network capable of supporting the growing demand for bandwidth across consumer and business services. The deployment will help Orange Belgium deliver a more seamless connectivity experience as demand continues to increase from machine learning applications, as well as remote working, video streaming, gaming and cloud services.
By consolidating fixed and mobile transport infrastructure into a single network, Orange Belgium will also simplify operations and improve service delivery across its network. Nokia’s AI-powered WaveSuite automation platform will help Orange Belgium to streamline network management, improve operational efficiency, and accelerate the time-to-market for new services.
