Nokia Lightspan MF-8 fibre platform

Nokia has announced its Lightspan MF-8, a fibre platform capable of delivering 10/25/50 and future 100G PON services.

Designed for mid-sized deployments, the platform offers the high and sub-millisecond latency of the Lightspan MF family, making it suitable for delivering both residential and mission-critical Industry 4.0 services and applications with no single point of failure. The MF family also enables advanced network automation and is SDN-programmable, with fast telemetry that drives AI/ML applications and modular software to enable agile deployment.

Based on the Quillion chipset, the product addresses the growing need for more capacity and a wide range of residential and non-residential broadband services. Its flexible design allows deployment across a range of locations, from cabinets to central offices and data centres.
