Nokia and Viettel roll out high-capacity optical network after achieving 1.2Tb/s optics transmission

Viettel, Vietnam’s largest telecom operator, has partnered with Nokia to upgrade its optical network infrastructure to support the country’s increasing data demands. By deploying Nokia’s latest optical technology, Viettel aims to enhance network capacity, delivering faster and more reliable connectivity nationwide. This upgrade is part of Viettel’s broader strategy to accommodate the growing data consumption driven by 5G and digital services across Vietnam, ensuring scalable infrastructure to meet future needs.

Viettel will now have access to Nokia’s PSE-6-powered optics solutions. Designed to support 3 x 800GE or 6 x 400GE services on a single line card, Nokia’s optics tech will help Viettel scale its total network capacity to 38.4Tb/s over C-band.

The deployment, set to be completed in 2025, will connect Viettel’s Data Center in metropolitan areas such as Ha Noi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang, enabling the operator to increase capacity while enhancing energy efficiency.

Nokia suggested the optics tech will help the Vietnamese operator reduce network power consumption by up to 60%
