Cable operators are upgrading their networks to fiber because it offers maximum performance, scalability, and reliability. However, installing fiber in MDUs often requires significant construction work and coordination with building owners and tenants, making the process complex, costly, and time-consuming for operators. In older MDUs, existing cable runs and structural access may make fiber installation impossible.

Nokia's new Gigabit Connect solution allows operators to easily combine fiber and MoCA access to connect subscribers in MDUs. Nokia's MoCA access solution connects to the FTTH network, uses existing coaxial cabling in the building, and is managed as a single system. Notably, MoCA also enables coexistence with legacy services such as terrestrial, satellite, and cable TV, as well as DOCSIS
