Nokia has signed an agreement with Canal+ Telecom to expand and automate the operator’s fiber network across French Guiana and Guadeloupe. Canal+ will deploy Nokia’s Lightspan Mini Optical Line Terminal (OLT) and Altiplano solutions to accelerate Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) rollouts in the Caribbean and to future-proof its network for growing broadband demands. The initiative will support the delivery of multi-gigabit broadband services to communities across the islands, helping bridge the digital divide and stimulate local economies.
The Lightspan Mini OLT solution offers a compact, high-capacity option tailored for island and low-density deployments, enabling Canal+ Telecom to optimize space and costs while preparing the network to scale up to 25G PON. Nokia’s Altiplano platform will automate network and service operations by detecting anomalies, predicting service-affecting issues, and enhancing network utilization, improving overall operational efficiency.
With this deployment, Canal+ Telecom becomes the first operator in the Caribbean to adopt Nokia’s Altiplano solution, underscoring its commitment to network automation and superior customer experience. The collaboration aims to bring more resilient, high-speed fiber broadband to underserved regions and support Canal+ Telecom’s digital transformation initiatives.
