Nokia introduced Broadband Easy, a new digital platform and service suite designed to automate and accelerate fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments for broadband operators. The platform leverages advanced AI models and automation to streamline design, installation, and certification processes, reducing total cost of ownership (TCO) and speeding up rollout timelines by as much as 20%. Broadband Easy aims to help service providers overcome the financial and logistical challenges of extending fiber networks to unconnected and underserved communities worldwide.
The modular platform offers operators centralized control of the entire fiber deployment lifecycle, including subcontractor management, inventory generation, and risk mitigation. Integrated AI tools enhance field productivity by certifying fiber plants, verifying installations, managing subscriber port assignments, and even providing on-site training via AI-driven guidance. The system is fully compatible with existing IT environments and is pre-integrated with Nokia’s Altiplano Access Controller and Nokia Design Center. Operators can also pair Broadband Easy with Nokia’s rollout management services to further offload project execution.
Nokia’s latest platform is positioned to play a critical role in connecting the next billion homes to fiber, particularly in rural areas where fiber buildouts remain economically challenging. By optimizing deployment workflows and improving field operation efficiency, Broadband Easy addresses key pain points operators face as they scale FTTH infrastructure.
