Nokia has announced that Netplus, one of India’s fastest-growing Internet Services Providers, has rolled out Nokia’s latest 400G routing technology and software-defined access network (SDAN) platform to scale its high-speed broadband and IPTV services across Punjab and other cities. This deployment will enable Netplus to deliver more immersive and flexible services to nearly two million users while improving energy efficiency and ensuring long-term scalability.
The new network rollout will support Netplus in moving subscribers from traditional linear television to on-demand IPTV services. It will also help cater to the increasing demand for high-bandwidth applications such as e-commerce, online education and digital classrooms. With energy-efficient components across all layers of the network, the solution lowers operational costs and promotes sustainable growth.
As consumer demand for on-demand video, interactive gaming and digital learning grows rapidly, Internet providers in India face mounting pressure to modernise their infrastructure for better performance and sustainability. To meet this demand, Netplus is using Nokia’s 7250 Interconnect Routers (IXR) series for broadband aggregation and the 7750 Service Router (SR) for broadband network gateway (BNG) functionality. This is further strengthened by Nokia’s next generation SDAN-based platform for passive optical networks (GPON and XGSPON), which combines the Altiplano Access Controller with the Lightspan Optical Line Terminal (OLT). Together, these technologies create a fully converged, future-ready network architecture with stronger service assurance and investment protection.
The architecture also uses Altiplano’s SDAN capabilities to improve service performance by offering automated control, diagnostics and orchestration across access networks. This allows Netplus to roll out new services faster and with greater reliability.
“Consumers today want access to high-speed IPTV and interactive applications across multiple devices and locations. This deployment ensures we deliver an improved customer experience, better energy efficiency and flexibility to support evolving needs in business and education. Our collaboration with Nokia reinforces our commitment to building next-gen digital highways for northern India,” said Arshdeep Singh Mundi, Executive Director at Netplus.
“By working with Netplus, we are helping build the foundation for India’s next-generation broadband experience. Our solutions deliver the performance, scalability and automation needed to support data-intensive applications like IPTV. With this deployment, Netplus gains the tools to ensure network reliability, reduce energy costs and evolve toward a future-ready architecture,” said Jivitesh Nayal, Head of Emerging Business for Network Infrastructure at Nokia India.
The collaboration marks a key step in India’s digital transformation journey, giving millions of consumers access to reliable, scalable and sustainable broadband and IPTV services that can support the growing demand for connected applications.
