The deployment will help Orange Belgium deliver a more seamless connectivity experience as demand continues to increase from machine learning applications, as well as remote working, video streaming, gaming and cloud services.<\/p>\n<p>By consolidating fixed and mobile transport infrastructure into a single network, Orange Belgium will also simplify operations and improve service delivery across its network. Nokia\u2019s AI-powered WaveSuite automation platform will help Orange Belgium to streamline network management, improve operational efficiency, and accelerate the time-to-market for new services.<\/p>\n<p>The modernized optical network will transport Orange Belgium\u2019s fixed and mobile traffic from customer-provided equipment through metro access and backbone infrastructure, supporting services from 1G to 400G and beyond. It also marks the first deployment of Nokia\u2019s high capacity 1830 PSS platform within an Orange affiliate for core optical transport.<\/p>\n<p>This multi-year project will leverage Nokia&#8217;s AI-powered network automation through the company\u2019s WaveSuite software solution, end-to-end synchronization management with a Nokia RAN installed base, higher resiliency with a GMPLS control plane, as well as the implementation of thin transponders based on the new high capacity 1830 PSS platform, marking a significant step forward in delivering reliable and secure connectivity for advanced services across Belgium.<\/p>\n<p>                        &#8216;;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nokia today announced it has been selected by Orange Belgium as the sole supplier for a major transformation&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":564997,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[261],"tags":[2077,241275,291,289,290,79897,241272,210305,19454,18,7894,241273,210308,19,17,101030,101031,12592,241274,2418,82],"class_list":["post-564996","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-5g","tag-5g-ran","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-cloud-providers","tag-core-networks","tag-csps-telcos","tag-customer","tag-eire","tag-gaming","tag-highlights-home-page","tag-highlights-landing-page","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-newsroom","tag-ni","tag-nokia","tag-optical-networks","tag-press-releases","tag-technology"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116849985777686555","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564996","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=564996"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/564996\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/564997"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=564996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=564996"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=564996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
