Nokia has deployed a complete solution that includes its 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS), 7750 service routers, 7250 interconnect routers, 7210 services access systems (SAS), network service platform (NSP), FX 8 and FX 16 optical line terminals (OLT), fibre optical network terminals (ONTs) and Nokia Beacon 1 devices that help ensure a premium Wi-Fi experience in customer premises.

Commenting on the deployment, Grupo Satelital CEO Rocío Castilla said: “For the impact it has on social, economic and educational development, providing thousands of people with access to high-quality internet, this project is of utmost relevance for our company.

“Thanks to our R&D team, we completed the initial phase of the project two years ago, having connected the district of Yurimaguas to the municipality of Iquitos through the
