Nokia has announced the launch of a new in-wall ONT for enterprise optical local area network (LAN) connectivity. The new product delivers gigabit speeds to provide a reliable, fast and secure broadband connection inside offices, hotels, hospitals, schools and other enterprise segments. The Nokia ONT is part of Nokia’s comprehensive Optical LAN portfolio designed to help enterprises meet environmental, social and governance (ESG) objectives.

With demand for gigabit services, IoT and file sharing applications growing, enterprises need to establish a LAN that can meet and stay ahead of evolving demands. Delivering a fraction of the complexity, space, energy and costs of a traditional copper-based LAN, Optical LAN uses fibre optic cables to provide a future-proof, high-capacity network alternative for in-building and campus connectivity that can help reduce energy costs by roughly 40%.

Nokia’s new ONT can help enterprises effectively extend the reach of their Optical LAN network to deliver more data capacity to employees using video, voice and data intense applications over the network. The ONT can power additional endpoint devices such as access points or cameras and can be securely mounted in the wall to help save space and reduce the chances for damage or theft. The new Nokia ONT for Optical LAN will be available in 2Q 2024.

Geert Heyninck, the general manager of broadband networks at Nokia, said: “Optical LAN is the right technology for enterprise connectivity today and in the future. Today, we have more than 600 customers, including hospitality, healthcare, airports and universities, that are deploying it with great success, and the number continues to grow. Helping to reduce TCO by as much as 50%, Optical LAN provides enterprises with significant operational and sustainable benefits that collectively can help reduce the energy and CO2 emissions of the IT networks they run.”

Julie Kunstler, the chief analyst, broadband access intelligence service at Omdia, said: “Optical LAN simply makes sense for enterprises. It´s environmentally sustainable, using passive components while reducing energy-consuming network elements. Furthermore, fibre-based LANs are adaptable, a key requirement in an ever-changing world. An Optical LAN will provide a future-proof LAN solution for years to come.”

Private 5G networks are a means to an end, that end being the conversion of massive amounts of IoT data into actionable local and distributed information and intelligence that is securely accessible for authorised personnel and third parties in corporate ecosystems. Private 5G networks are part of the broader organisational trend towards digital transformation. The term digital transformation refers to the deep integration of digital enabled processes into all aspects of an enterprise, along with an associated cultural change. The key objective is to enhance customer experiences by implementing fundamental operational changes. Private 5G, with its combination of greater device density, high bandwidth and low latency services enables transformative connectivity, which in turn allows enterprises to realise their transformation strategy, write Bob Emmerson and Robin Duke-Woolley, Beecham Research.  “How to elevate private 5G into transformative connectivity for IoT “
