Nokia launches Gigabit Connect to simplify gigabit broadband installation in apartment blocks deployment . G . fast technologies can help by enabling operators to terminate the fibre in a central location in the building and then bridging to any existing television , data or telephone cables for the last leg .
Nokia ’ s Gigabit Connect solution builds on G . fast capabilities , hiding its complexity and enabling the last leg connection to be managed as a fibre endpoint under a single pane of glass management interface . This is especially important for operators who focus on fibre-only deployment and who do not have expertise with technologies over copper twisted pair .
Nokia has launched Gigabit Connect to make it easier for fibre network providers to deploy gigabit broadband services in MDUs where the final connection leg is , via twisted pair or coaxial cables .
Fibre providers often encounter difficulties in bringing fibre all the way to every apartment in residential buildings . The age of the building can mean there is a lack of space or in-built ducting or legal issues might constrain the
Gigabit Connect can be deployed with no impact on existing network management and FTTH ( Fibre-to-the-Home ) services . Gigabit Connect solution also delivers the same speed and low-latency experience for the end-user as full FTTH .
