Nokia has launched a new suite of AI-powered software tools on its Altiplano platform designed to improve fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network visibility, operational efficiency, and reliability. The new offering introduces a digital twin of the FTTH infrastructure, giving operators a unified, real-time view of both active and passive network components.
By consolidating network data into a single digital environment, operators can identify faults, validate inventory, and predict failures before they impact service. Nokia’s Fiber Health Analyzer uses AI to monitor fiber link performance, detect anomalies, and conduct root-cause analysis, while the new Subscriber Line Identifier application verifies splitter connectivity and updates inventory in real time. Both are available through the Altiplano Marketplace.
The platform integrates seamlessly with existing inventory and geospatial systems and works across greenfield and brownfield deployments. When paired with Nokia’s Broadband Easy digital platform, it supports full lifecycle automation—from planning to operations—reducing costly truck rolls, inventory errors, and downtime.
“Our software tools and digital platforms provide a unified view of the network, allowing operators to detect issues faster and resolve them before they escalate,” said Geert Heyninck, General Manager, Broadband Networks at Nokia. “This results in significant operational advantages, cutting costs and improving both the reliability and accuracy of network builds.”
🌐 Analysis: Nokia’s Altiplano is an open, cloud-native software platform for broadband access network management and automation. It acts as an SDN controller and operations suite, allowing service providers to manage multi-vendor access networks through open APIs and data models. Altiplano provides advanced orchestration, zero-touch provisioning, and closed-loop automation capabilities—key elements for realizing autonomous broadband networks. With this launch, Nokia extends Altiplano beyond active network management into the physical fiber plant via digital twin technology. This positions it against automation platforms from Adtran (Mosaic One) and Calix (CloudOps), reflecting a broader industry shift toward intent-driven and AI-assisted network operations.
