    Airtel 4G to reach nine circles via US$ 230-mn deal with Nokia as latter expands global PON

    MUMBAI: Finnish telecommunication network company and gear maker Nokia has pocketed a 4G network deal from Bharti Airtel in nine telecom service areas. Nokia meantime is also extending its fiber solution for universal next-gen passive optical networks (PON) to help operators more effectively scale, deploy and automate their networks as the demand for data grows.

    Nokia will deploy its available 4G technologies across Airtel regions of Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Bihar, Rest of Bengal, Mumbai, Maharashtra, Odisha, Kerala and UP East. The coverage expansion will include major cities such as Lucknow, Ahmedabad, Patna and Siliguri.

    According to sources cited by Financial Express, the deal between the two telecoms is estimated to be worth around US$ 230 million.

    Nokia’s head of India market Sanjay Malik said, with the latest agreement, they had become the largest supplier of 4G for Airtel. The network expansion would provide the speed, capacity, coverage Airtel needs to meet the next wave of data demand in India, he added.

    The new agreement with Nokia will see Airtel expand the deployment of 4G technology in three new circles in addition to six circles it already serves, enabling launch of new services that started in September.

    Agreement between Nokia and Bharti Airtel will enhance coverage and access in urban, suburban and rural areas within nine circles in India, it added.

    Nokia’s universal PON solution launched in 2015 leverages existing fiber platforms and infrastructure to help operators evolve networks in a gradual way, adding wavelengths in line with demand.

    The solution offers various next generation PON technologies including XGS-PON and TWDM-PON on a single platform and line card. Operators can connect subscribers with any type of optical network terminal (ONTs) regardless of whether it’s XGPON1, XGS-PON or TWDM-PON, eliminating the risk of technology and platform lock-in, the New Indian Express reported.

    Now, Nokia is enhancing its universal solution to provide operators with a higher density option that can reduce costs. Increasing deployment flexibility, the enhancements include new SDN/NFV-based capabilities that automate and simplify the deployment, maintenance and evolution of traditional fiber networks. This provides a smooth evolution path to 10G symmetrical or asymmetrical speeds with cost-efficient non-tunable XGS-PON optics and to TWDM-PON with tunable optics.

  • ‘India Property Insider’ debuts in UAE, ties-up with GN Media to target Indian Diaspora

    ‘India Property Insider’ debuts in UAE, ties-up with GN Media to target Indian Diaspora

    MUMBAI: Young Media, a renowned Media and Publishing House, attempts to reach the Indian community in UAE with the launch of its ambitious magloid named ‘India Property Insider’ in association with Gulf News daily. The objective of this magloid – magazine in a tabloid format – is to inform NRI audience in the UAE with ‘need to know’ and ‘nice to know’ facts about the real estate sector in India. Being informative, motivating and illustrative at the same time, this magloid attempts to satisfy both the emotional and rational reasoning of NRIs who wish to own a house in their mother land.

     

    Young Media founder and director Wilfred Fernandes stated, “There has been a long pending need felt among the NRI community based in the Gulf of a vehicle that offers regular updates and advisories on the Indian real estate sector that is customised for the NRI community. We felt that India Property Insider will be the perfect vehicle for NRIs empowering them to take informed decisions whilst investing in real estate in India.” 

     

    Young Media has tied up with Gulf News for direct distribution of the magloid which will be available free for readers of Gulf News daily. Having sizeable proportion of Indian community in UAE, in cities like New Dubai, Jumeirah, Ghusais, Karama, Bur Dubai, New Deira, Sharjah and Abu Dhabi, ‘India Property Insider’ promises a good reach in these cities and facilitate sales for Indian real estate developers from the NRI customer segment on a sustained basis.

     

    Furthermore, speaking on this enterprising launch, Sanjay Malik, group circulation manager of GN Media said, “Indians by their very nature are hard working and have a propensity to save and this holds especially true for Indians living in the Gulf. Also, being away from home there is a certain desire to save money and invest or create an asset which will appreciate over the years. Real estate is the only asset that gives maximum appreciation value and also offers them a chance of owning a home and being rooted to their motherland.”

     

    With rich content and conversational presentation style, ‘India Property Insider’ would empower the NRIs in UAE to easily navigate through the Indian real estate sector, motivate them to invest in realty in India and actively enable decision-making in terms of property purchase.
