Orange Jordan and Nokia are deploying a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) network that will bring new ultra-broadband access and triple-play services to thousands of homes and businesses across Jordan.
The rollout compliments Orange Jordan's existing ADSL (Asymmetric digital subscriber line) technology. Orange Jordan has successfully enabled Fiber connectivity for more than 30,000 homes-and is now focused on fiberizing the rest of the network, which is expected to be up and running by the end of 2017.
Using a combination of Nokia's GPON (gigabit passive optical network) technology, fixed network professional services, as well as Nokia Applications and Analytics advanced network and device management software, Orange Jordan will be able to quickly deliver over 200 Mbps services needed to meet surging demand for high-speed residential and commercial services, said Nokia.
Utilizing Nokia's GPON FTTH technology, Orange Jordan will be able to deliver enhanced services to new customers as well as extend the service to subscribers already served by the existing ADSL-based network. With the use of the Nokia Network Analyzer, Home Device Manager, and Home Care solutions, Orange Jordan will be able to proactively manage the GPON network and communication devices in customers' homes.
