Nokia and CommScope Partner to Accelerate FTTH Deployments in APAC
Read MoreHide Full Article
Key Takeaways
Nokia and CommScope joined forces to streamline FTTH deployments across the Asia-Pacific region.
The integration combines Nokia's Broadband Easy platform with CommScope's FLX ODN terminals.
The solution boosts speed, lowers costs and enhances automation for next-generation fiber networks.
Nokia (NOK - Free Report) and CommScope have teamed up to simplify and accelerate fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region by integrating Nokia’s Broadband Easy digital automation platform with CommScope’s FLX ODN non-hardened connectorized terminals. The combined solution offers service providers a fully digitized, end-to-end path to FTTH, delivering unmatched precision, speed and automation.
The joint solution is available for Nokia and CommScope customers across APAC. It will be featured at Network-X in Paris, France, from 14–16 Oct. 2025 and at Telecoms World Asia in Bangkok, Thailand, from 18–19 Nov. 2025.
The CommScope FLX ODN plug-and-play fiber access terminals feature advanced indexing and connectorized technology that eliminates field splicing while remaining modular and scalable. When paired with Nokia’s Broadband Easy platform, operators can centrally manage the entire fiber deployment process with AI-driven automation and quality assurance—from network design through operations. The result is high-quality fiber networks that are faster to deploy, more cost-efficient, and future-ready.
Management highlighted that with Broadband Easy, they are transforming fiber deployment, making it simpler, faster and more cost-efficient for operators. By combining AI with Nokia’s expertise in fiber network design and integrating the CommScope FLX ODN solution, operators can lower costs, shorten rollout times and accelerate the delivery of high-speed connectivity to the next billion homes.
Nokia is continuously striving to expand its portfolio and its strategic partnership marks a significant step in that direction. In September 2025, Nokia announced a collaboration with Supermicro, a global leader in application-optimized total IT solutions, aimed at empowering cloud providers, hyperscalers, enterprises and communication service providers (CSPs) to deploy high-performance, AI-optimized data center networking solutions.
Also, the company announced a contract with Extreme Broadband ("EBB") and its subsidiary, Open DC, to enhance the performance and security of Open DC’s AI data centers across Malaysia. This initiative aligns with the country’s National Cloud Computing Policy and caters to the high standards of the banking and financial services sector, strengthening EBB and Open DC’s position as leading players in Malaysia’s digital infrastructure space.
However, weakness in the Mobile Networks segment is hindering revenue growth. The company’s international presence exposes it to political and economic disruptions, affecting profitability. Stiff competition in the wireless equipment market is straining the margin. Moreover, macroeconomic uncertainty remains a headwind.
NOK’s Zacks Rank & Stock Price Performance
Nokia currently carries a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell). The stock has gained 20.9% over the past year compared with the Wireless Equipment industry’s growth of 37.3%.
