Nokia: upgrades Proximus backbone network
(CercleFinance.com) - Belgium's Proximus is one of the first operators in the world to carry customers' traffic on a new Nokia IP backbone that will help halve energy costs, the Finnish company said on Tuesday.
The new router will enable Proximus to cope with the rise of data traffic over the coming decade, boosted by ongoing fiber investments in Belgium, Nokia said.
This equipment will also help Proximus to provide support for new services, such as augmented and virtual reality, IoT and the roll-out of 5G, it added.
The migration will continue in stages up until 2021, Nokia noted.
