Austrian utility and infrastructure company, Energie AG Oberösterreich, has selected Nokia to build an optical transport network across 18 sites in Upper Austria to backhaul traffic from FTTH nodes to two central sites. Deployment is already underway.
Patrick Langelaan, vice president Nokia Enterprise CBT Europe South, said: “It has become very clear over the past two years that the scaling of fiber-based connectivity virtually everywhere is a key economic factor for any country. Local and regional communications service providers can play an important role in providing this ultra-fast connectivity. We are excited to support Energie AG on its journey to connect Upper Austria with high-speed fiber access.”
