Nokia Drives Digital Conversion Across South-Eastern Mexico & Latin America with Advanced Optical Networks
A importent infrastructure upgrade powered by Nokia is poised to unlock economic opportunities and bridge the digital divide in underserved regions of mexico and beyond, demonstrating the company’s commitment to digital inclusion across Latin America.
For years, communities and businesses in south-eastern Mexico have faced limitations due to insufficient network infrastructure. Now, MX Fiber is changing that, deploying a next-generation backbone network spanning over 800km, built on Nokia’s cutting-edge Flex-grid DWDM technology and the powerful 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS). This deployment isn’t just about faster internet; it’s about laying the digital foundation for a revitalized economy and modern services for citizens, businesses, and government initiatives.
Addressing a Critical Need for Connectivity
The project will directly benefit customers across five key states: Chiapas, Tabasco, quintana Roo, Campeche, and Veracruz. These areas, historically lacking robust connectivity, will soon experience a dramatic enhancement in internet speeds, enhanced access to cloud services, and the ability to support data-intensive applications crucial for modern business and life.
This isn’t simply an upgrade; it’s a transformative investment. The new infrastructure boasts a throughput capacity of up to 2.4Tbps and is designed for scalability, supporting 10G, 100G, and 200G services. This future-proof architecture is specifically designed to handle the demands of next-generation cloud computing, enterprise applications, and government workloads. Nokia highlights that this increased capacity will be instrumental in transforming connectivity for critical hubs like datacentres, industrial zones, and subsea transport facilities.
Fueling Mega-Projects and Economic Growth
The timing of this deployment is particularly significant, coinciding with the growth of major infrastructure projects like the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and the Maya Train. MX fiber recognizes the crucial role of reliable, high-capacity connectivity in the success of these initiatives.
“We are very happy to work with Nokia to deploy a proven, optical solution that delivers massive capacity and high-quality services at a lower operational cost,” says Nestor Bergero, CEO of MX Fiber. “This solution is crucial to supporting our customers and to the success of mega-projects… which are designed to spur economic development in the region. We look forward to continuing to grow and evolve with Nokia.”
nokia’s Commitment to Latin American Digital inclusion
This project in Mexico is part of a broader trend of Nokia investments aimed at bridging the digital divide across Latin America. The company isn’t just providing technology; it’s actively partnering with local organizations to deliver impactful solutions.Javier falcón, Vice-President of Network Infrastructure, Latin America at Nokia, emphasizes the meaning of the project: “This is a major step forward for digital inclusion and economic empowerment in south-eastern Mexico. We’re honoured to support MX Fiber with world-class optical technology that delivers scale, reliability and future-ready performance.”
Future-Proofing Connectivity with Advanced Technology
The Nokia 1830 PSS is engineered for long-term viability. It’s designed to seamlessly upgrade to 400G and 800G speeds without disrupting existing services, protecting MX Fiber’s investment and ensuring continuous connectivity for its customers. Furthermore, built-in dynamic network management and real-time performance monitoring, utilizing optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR), provide proactive insights into network health, guaranteeing robust, responsive, and reliable connectivity. This translates to peace of mind for MX Fiber’s customers, knowing their connections are prepared for future demands.
Beyond Mexico: Expanding Connectivity Across the Region
Nokia’s dedication to digital inclusion extends beyond mexico. Recent initiatives demonstrate a comprehensive approach to addressing connectivity challenges throughout Latin America:
Brazil: Empowering Agribusiness with private Wireless: Nokia has partnered with Solis tower Telecom do Brasil to deliver a flexible digital agriculture solution, leveraging private wireless networks to boost productivity, efficiency, and sustainability for agribusinesses in rural areas. This initiative aims to bring reliable connectivity to farming communities, driving digital inclusion and increasing food production.
Peru: Connecting the Amazon Rainforest: Working with Global Fiber Peru, Nokia is deploying a subaquatic and future-proof optical, IP, and fibre broadband network in the remote three-border region of Peru, Colombia, and Brazil. This project tackles one of the world’s most significant digital divides, bringing connectivity to a previously isolated area.
