Production will begin in 2024 and will bring more high-tech jobs to the country. The announcement builds on Nokia's earlier decision to manufacture fiber-optic broadband network electronics in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Optical modules are a key high-tech component of fiber broadband networks. They convert electrical signals into light and vice versa, and are essential for connecting homes to high-speed, multi-gigabit broadband. By manufacturing these optical modules in the United States, Nokia continues to expand its portfolio of products and solutions for deploying networks using BEAD or other funding. States and infrastructure operators wishing to participate in BEAD and the $42.45 billion in available funding allocated to broadband deployment in underserved and underserved communities are required to use equipment manufactured in the United States.
Operators looking to leverage BEAD funding to bridge the digital divide now have access to cutting-edge technology for their deployments. Currently, over 70 percent of North America’s broadband fiber lines are equipped by Nokia. The use of multi-rate optical modules and products allows operators to easily upgrade speeds from 1 Gig to Multi-Gig. Combined with Nokia’s award-winning 25G solutions and 100G technology research, this ensures operators build fiber networks that will meet user needs for generations to come.
