This agreement, which covers all Eurofiber subsidiaries, underscores the two companies' mutual commitment to developing ultra-fast, high-capacity fiber optic networks in Europe with the highest possible service standards. Within Eurofiber France, the first optical networks are already being deployed in southern and northern France. In addition to France, Nokia is also deploying an urban DWDM network in Germany for the Berlin-based joint venture Vattenfall-Eurofiber. In Belgium, the two companies have agreed to upgrade the national DWDM network. The Eurofiber Cloud Infra unit has selected Nokia's SR Linux as its switching platform.

These networks will improve and expand Eurofiber's more than 60,000 km of fiber infrastructure.

Jan van Tetering, Nokia's Senior Vice President for Europe, stated: "Nokia is proud to welcome Eurofiber as a customer. We are committed to serving the Eurofiber Group and its subsidiaries with our strong portfolio and presence in the four countries where they operate, and to helping them expand their Open Networks footprint. This framework agreement provides a solid foundation for our shared business ambition to grow together in Europe, based on our common values ​​of operating ethically, sustainably, and securely."

Eric Kuisch, Chief Operating Officer of the Eurofiber Group, comments: "Eurofiber has an ambitious growth agenda in Western Europe. A fully integrated, high-capacity DWDM network and a highly secure, future-proof data center team are the key technological elements to realize these ambitions.".
