Nokia, Canal+ Telecom to bring broadband access to Caribbean

Nokia (NOK) announced that Canal+ Telecom, a subsidiary of Canal+ Group, which operates in Overseas Departments and Territories, 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 establish a future-ready network capable of addressing the growing demand for more capacity. It will also help drive higher levels of automation in Canal+ Telecom’s network and service operations. Canal+ will deploy Nokia’s Lightspan Mini Optical Line Terminal solution to help accelerate the roll out of Fiber-to-the Home 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.
