Telin Chooses Nokia Optical Transport to Boost Singapore Data Center Connectivity
Telin, the international arm of Telekomunikasi Indonesia, has selected Nokia’s optical transport solution to expand and strengthen its data center network across Singapore. Using Nokia’s 1830 GX compact modular platform with pluggable coherent optical technology and an open optical line system, the deployment delivers high-speed, low-latency, and scalable connectivity. The upgraded infrastructure enables reliable, cost-effective interconnections between major data centers to meet growing customer demand for efficient and highly available network services.
Cambium Networks Unifies Wireless and Wired Networks with Next-Gen Connectivity
Cambium Networks announced an expansion of its ONE Network portfolio with the addition of Wi-Fi 7 access points and cnMatrix switches. The portfolio integrates wireless and wired access into a single platform for enterprise, education, healthcare, and service provider networks. The Wi-Fi 7 access points support multi-gigabit Ethernet. The cnMatrix switches provide management capabilities and integrate with Cambium’s ONE Network framework. The platform also includes security, SD-WAN, and fiber access. Cambium highlights the use of AIOps for automated performance optimization, provisioning, policy enforcement, and device onboarding.
STL Launches Multi-Core Fiber Cable to Boost Future Telecom Networks
STL (Sterlite Technologies) showcased its Unitube Single Jacket Indoor Optical Fibre Cable with 4-core Multi-Core Fiber (MCF) at Connected Britain 2025. The cable integrates four cores into the same cladding diameter as standard single-mode fiber, maintaining a coating size of 250/200 micrometers. STL is among the first to deploy MCF technology in underground and duct networks, providing fibers, cables, and termination solutions. MCF technology increases network capacity by enabling more data transmission within the same footprint. The cable supports Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) for secure data transmission and applications including AI, 5G, and quantum computing with four times the throughput of legacy fibers.
Agora Powers AI Hardware Development with 4G Connectivity and Rapid Prototyping
Agora launched an updated version of its Convo AI Device Kit with native 4G connectivity, visual intelligence, and rapid prototyping features. The kit allows developers to create a working AI device demo in one hour and a production-ready prototype in one day. It supports global 4G connectivity through Nano-SIM and eSIM across multiple regions, including India. The kit includes a built-in camera for visual understanding, dynamic eye displays for feedback, and compatibility with multiple AI and chip platforms. Applications include smart companions, educational robots, and AI-powered learning devices. The kit enables integration of AI models with connected hardware, supporting faster device testing and deployment.
