As fiber deployments increase worldwide, operators face the challenge of connecting subscribers cost-effectively. More than 30% of home connections are not completed as planned due to manual procedures, inaccurate data, and tight schedules, leading to multiple truck trips. This inflates costs and prolongs connection times, significantly impacting total CAPEX. Efficient processes, on-the-ground quality, and data accuracy are crucial for successful deployments.
A subscription to Nokia's Broadband Easy Connect gives operators, their subcontractors, and retailers access to a cloud-based platform that helps automate the process of connecting end users to the fiber network. With workflow tools that can be tailored to the operator's needs and seamlessly integrated into the IT environment, Broadband Easy Connect can automate processes related to scheduling customer visits, dispatching engineers, and verifying operations in the field.
Nokia's solution also provides field engineers with access to a suite of productivity tools, such as ONT Easy Start and Optical Link Certifier, which offer automated service activation and end-to-end line testing. The cloud platform also enables field engineers to use AI-powered computer vision models to validate port assignments and ensure all passive components are installed correctly.
