New Delhi, India \u2013 Nokia today announced that it has been selected by the Vortex Group to modernize its IP edge and transport network across Maharashtra, Goa and Gujarat. The refreshed IP aggregation and edge networks will support increased broadband speeds and enable Vortex to expand services to underserved areas. This collaboration will transform Vortex\u2019s broadband network, enabling more than 150 smaller ISPs connected to its network to access high-speed, scalable infrastructure and deliver enhanced internet services to their local customers across the three states.<\/p>\n
With Nokia\u2019s advanced Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) solution, Vortex will streamline its infrastructure by consolidating multiple lower-capacity BNGs into a single, scalable system capable of supporting more than 200,000 subscribers. This strategic investment will reduce CAPEX and OPEX while improving reliability. The upgrade positions Vortex to introduce higher-speed broadband plans and scale rapidly across Maharashtra, Goa, and Gujarat. Alongside its retail expansion, Vortex is also leveraging Nokia\u2019s solutions to strengthen its internal backbone network, laying the groundwork for long-term growth, regional reach, and wholesale partnerships. Nokia\u2019s IP edge and transport platforms, powered by proprietary silicon technology, provide the flexibility and scalability essential for sustainable broadband service delivery.<\/p>\n
The upgrade will significantly enhance Vortex\u2019s broadband services by transitioning its network infrastructure from Layer 2 (L2) to a Layer 3 (L3) IP\/MPLS-based architecture, improving operational efficiency and increasing overall capacity. As part of the deployment, Nokia will supply its 7250 IXR series routers and 7750 SR-1 BNG, enabling Vortex to replace its legacy BNGs and switches with high-capacity, scalable solutions built for long-term growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cUpgrading to Nokia\u2019s IP\/MPLS network allows us to deliver a superior broadband experience with greater reliability, capacity, and speed. This transformation positions us to expand into Tier 3 and Tier 4 cities across Maharashtra, Goa, and Gujarat helping bridge the digital divide and unlock new growth opportunities. Our partnership with Nokia is a strategic step towards enabling high-speed internet access to more households and businesses across India,\u201d said Vineet Nishar (Lalu), Managing Director at Vortex Group.<\/p>\n
