Their routers in the access and aggregation network will allow Telefónica to offer high-speed connectivity to consumers and businesses, especially in rural and remote locations.
Nokia has already provided its IP solutions for mobile backhaul, edge, core, and peering as part of Telefónica's IP Network Fusion project. The operator designed the project as a platform to integrate services into a single network infrastructure, offering advanced communications services and transforming the customer experience for mobile, residential, and enterprise services.
According to the final project agreement, Telefónica will deploy the Nokia 7250 IXR products, including the 7250 IXR-e router for access and the 7250 IXR-R6 for aggregation. Both are designed to support edge cloud, bringing applications closer to end users for an improved customer experience.
The Nokia 7250 IXR products also offer advantages in this part of Telefónica's IP network. They provide end-to-end support for advanced IP routing protocols, such as segment routing, which will lay the foundation for network sharding, enabling fast and efficient automated service delivery and service assurance. The 7250 IXR products also improve cellular service reliability by providing advanced timing, synchronization, and quality of service capabilities, which are critical to cellular radio performance.
With the addition of this Nokia solution, Telefónica continues to optimize its network to offer high-capacity, high-quality connectivity with extensive coverage in rural and remote locations.
Javier Gutiérrez, Vice President of Strategy and Network Development at Telefónica Spain, states: "Nokia's network extensions will help Telefónica offer a comprehensive portfolio of services to our customers. Services such as video streaming and live multicast video, including Telefónica's Movistar+ television platform, voice, broadband internet, and a range of business services will be available through both our fixed and mobile access infrastructure, providing greater network coverage, particularly for rural and remote areas."
Vach Kompella, Director of Nokia's IP Networks Division, said: "As one of Europe's leading operators, Telefónica has always focused on network modernization, and access network connectivity is fundamental to its success. With its end-to-end IP network now complete, Telefónica can bring new services to its customers faster, provide a better service guarantee, and prepare for anticipated growth with the evolution to 5G and edge computing. We are delighted to partner with Telefónica to future-proof the business."
