Nokia and Windstream Enable Next-generation IP Network With 400G-capable Architecture
Summary
Nokias advanced routers will enable Windstream to support 5G interconnectivity and a tremendous growth in backbone traffic driven by an increase in mobility applications, video streaming, gaming and other high-capacity demands like remote working. Nokias 7750 SR-7s routers are powered by highly programmable FP4 network processors designed to enable deterministic packet forwarding for consistent performance at full scale. While the project is only one-third complete, Nokias SR-7s routers have already proven their ability to meet Windstreams core network requirements in the three live sites. Windstream provides data networking, core transport, security, unified communications and managed services to mid-market, enterprise and wholesale customers across the U.S. The company also offers broadband, entertainment and security services for consumers and small and medium-sized businesses primarily in rural areas in 18 states.
