Nokia upgrades Vortex's IP edge and transport network to enhance broadband services across .........
Nokia 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's
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.
With Nokia's 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's
solutions to strengthen its internal backbone network, laying the groundwork
for long-term growth, regional reach, and wholesale partnerships. Nokia's IP
edge and transport platforms, powered by proprietary silicon technology,
provide the flexibility and scalability essential for sustainable broadband
service delivery.
The upgrade will significantly
enhance Vortex's 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.
"Upgrading to Nokia's 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," said Vineet Nishar (Lalu), Managing Director at Vortex Group.
"As we witness a growing surge in broadband, service
providers need networks that scale efficiently while maintaining reliability.
Our high-performance 7750 SR-1 BNG and 7250 IXR routers will enable the Vortex
Group to modernize their networks and scale seamlessly while improving
operational efficiency. This upgrade will enable them to consolidate
infrastructure, reduce operational overhead, and enhance services for existing
customers while also expanding into new markets," said Jivitesh Nayal,
Head of Business Development for Network Infrastructure at Nokia India.
