The digital Broadband Easy platform gives operators full visibility and control of the entire fiber rollout process, aided by advanced automation and artificial intelligence (AI) models to help ensure optimal project design, installations and budgets. Users can digitalize the fiber deployment process with the modular platform that easily integrates into the existing IT stack.

Additional automation features help to optimize design and field activities by real time data exchange, certifying the fiber plant, and generating accurate inventory data. AI models are applied to increase the quality of field installations, verify and accept the installation of components, control ports allocated to subscribers and provide on-site training and guidance to field technicians.

“With Broadband Easy, we’re making fiber deployment easier, faster, and more cost-effective for operators. By combining our deep expertise in fiber network design and deployment with cutting-edge automation and AI, we’re helping operators significantly cut costs and rollout times—making high-speed internet access a reality for more communities, sooner,” said Sandy Motley, president of fixed networks at Nokia.
