Broadband Easy

A digital approach for efficient fiber rollout

Fast, efficient fiber rollouts for continued growth

Demand for fiber broadband doesn’t stand still, and neither can you. To compete and grow your business, you’ll need to extend your fiber footprint into more challenging areas, perhaps with incumbent competition, lower household densities, or lower incomes. In these areas, fiber rollout efficiency is essential to make the business case to work.

Nokia Broadband Easy provides a platform and associated services to make your next deployment more efficient and more profitable. It takes a digital-first approach that integrates and automates your deployment for any or all stages of design, build, and connect, helping you lower costs by 10% and move 20% faster to revenues.

The challenges of fiber rollouts

Fiber rollouts are high-stakes projects with many codependent parts that require careful planning and precise execution. Teams must coordinate effectively and seamlessly through the phases of design, build, and connect. Data and information must be immediately available with 100% accuracy so that different functions can perform their different tasks accurately and on time, every time. Slight slips in any area, or miscommunication between areas, result in projects running behind schedule and over budget.

Four tactics to reduce fiber deployment costs

Global management consulting firm McKinsey performed a study in 2024 which highlights the tactics operators can use to roll out fiber faster and cheaper. The table below gives a summary of the four domains where McKinsey sees significant potential to increase efficiency and the quantitative benefits they bring.

The study shows that overall savings of 10-25% can be achieved through what is largely a digitalization of the fiber program.

Nokia Broadband Easy does just that through:

One process covering design up to operations providing full control to the operator.
Advanced automation in design and field activities to perform installations first time right.
Artificial Intelligence technology for a better quality outside plant.
