Ishan Technologies, an internet service provider in India, has partnered with Nokia for its broadband services in Gujarat and Maharashtra.
Ishan Technologies will deploy Nokia’s Altiplano Software-Defined Access Network (SDAN) solution, Broadband Network Gateway (BNG), Data Center Fabric and IP/MPLS transport network solutions to deliver broadband services for customers. The upgraded network will automate routine operations like service activation and provisioning, enabling faster rollout of new services, reducing operational costs, and enhancing customer experiences.
Nokia’s products and solutions include the Lightspan DF-16GM Optical Line Terminals (OLTs) and dual-band Optical Network Terminals (ONTs), supported by the Altiplano Access Platform. Nokia will also upgrade Ishan Technologies’ core and transport networks with equipment such as 7250 IXR routers, 7750 BNG with CGNAT capabilities, Network Service Platform (NSP) and 7220 IXR Data Center Fabric platforms for data center upgrades in Mumbai and Chennai.
Keyur Jathal, Director & CMO at Ishan Technologies, said: “Leveraging Nokia’s technology and expertise allows us to lead the SDAN adoption and set new benchmarks for broadband connectivity in India. Our enhanced infrastructure will benefit our 256,000 subscribers, introducing gigabit broadband services for the small and medium enterprises and corporate customers.”
“Nokia’s SDAN solution is changing the game for how service providers operate their networks. With the cloud-optimized platform that we have delivered, they will be able to efficiently unlock new use cases,” Jivitesh Nayal, Head of Emerging Business for Network Infrastructure at Nokia India, said.
