Driving India’s digital transformation with next-gen IPTV and broadband, Nokia and Netplus elevate connectivity and customer experience.
Nokia has partnered with Netplus to deploy its latest 400G routing technology and software-defined access network (SDAN) platform. The rollout is aimed at scaling high-speed broadband and IPTV services across Punjab and other cities, enhancing customer experience.
The deployment enables Netplus to provide immersive, flexible IPTV services to nearly two million users, supporting India’s shift from traditional television to on-demand digital services. It also lays the foundation for high-bandwidth applications such as online learning, e-commerce, and interactive gaming. Energy-efficient technologies embedded across the network are expected to lower operating costs while contributing to sustainable growth.
For IP access and aggregation, Netplus is using Nokia’s 7250 Interconnect Routers (IXR) series and 7750 Service Router (SR) for broadband network gateway (BNG) functions. Nokia’s SDAN-based platform for PON (GPON, XGSPON), integrated with the Altiplano Access Controller and Lightspan Optical Line Terminal (OLT), offers a fully converged and future-proof architecture. This setup also improves service assurance and investment protection while accelerating rollout through automation, diagnostics, and orchestration.
“Consumers today want access to high-speed IPTV and interactive applications across multiple devices and locations. This deployment ensures we deliver an improved customer experience, better energy efficiency and flexibility to support evolving needs in business and education. Our collaboration with Nokia reinforces our commitment to building next-gen digital highways for northern India,” commented Arshdeep Singh Mundi, Executive Director at Netplus.
“By working with Netplus, we are helping build the foundation for India’s next-generation broadband experience. Our solutions deliver the performance, scalability and automation needed to support data-intensive applications like IPTV. With this deployment, Netplus gains the tools to ensure network reliability, reduce energy costs and evolve toward a future-ready architecture,” asserted Jivitesh Nayal, Head of Emerging Business for Network Infrastructure at Nokia India.
