Nokia announced the signature of a frame agreement with Eurofiber Group, the supplier and operator of Open Network infrastructure in the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Germany.

The scope includes multi country DWDM roll out, datacenter switching and multiple other areas to increase Eurofiber Open Network footprint.

Within Eurofiber France, first optical networks are already under deployment in the south and north of France. Next to France, Nokia is also deploying a DWDM city network in Germany for the Berlin based joint venture Vattenfall-Eurofiber. In Belgium, both companies agreed to renew the nationwide DWDM network. The Eurofiber Cloud Infra unit selected SR Linux from Nokia as their switching platform.

These networks will enhance and expand the more than 60,000 km of Eurofiber fiber infrastructure.

Eric Kuisch, COO Eurofiber Group, said: “Eurofiber has an ambitious growth agenda in Western Europe. An integrated high capacity DWDM network, and secure datacenter equipment are main technological enablers to realize these ambitions.”
