At Asia Pacific Advanced Network 57 conference held in Bangkok, Thailand, APAN committee chair, Shinji Shimojo and Nokia Mathew Simon signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to jointly share and exchange knowledge and information on networking topics that would be of interest to the research and education community. Nokia and APAN share a common goal and purpose which is to advance scientific research and discovery. Nokia has pursued this ethos with Bell Labs as a prime example of its world class and award-winning scientific research. Nokia networking solutions are deployed globally and operate in some of the harshest environments in the world.
With over 1500 Communications and Cloud Providers and over 1200 Enterprise and government customers, Nokia’s industry-leading IP routing portfolio is designed and built with custom FP network processors delivering the highest capacity and density with the lowest power consumption per bit in the market. The Nokia IP 7750 SR suite of IP core and edge routers support a wide range of interfaces including 400GE and 800GE that delivers high-performance core routing with deterministic packet forwarding at scale with up to 216 Tb/s of full-duplex system capacity. IP Core network modernization contracts with GEANT, CANARIE and ESNet are recent examples of Nokia’s IP routing technology and innovation leadership.
Technology leadership and innovation is also at the heart of the Nokia Optical networking products. From the latest generation of photonic services engines (PSE-6s) supporting coherent optical modem designs and electro-optical integration that provide a variety of compact and super coherent optical. Nokia brings to market the industry’s first 2.4Tb/s super channels on a single line card to support multiple 400GE and 800GE services bringing scalability to RENs throughput requirements. NRENs such as FCCN, ACOnet, and Sikt have deployed the Nokia 1830 PSS/PSI-M optical transport solution in their networks and GRNet and Nokia have demonstrated quantum-safe network as part of the HellasQCI project in Greece.
Have a look into Nokia for Research and Education for use cases and depth material for NRENs.
