Nokia announces deployment of optical network for MX Fiber in Southeast Mexico

Nokia announced the deployment of a high-speed optical transport backbone for MX Fiber, enhancing connectivity in Southeast Mexico. This initiative aims to provide reliable, high-capacity internet access across Chiapas, Tabasco, Quintana Roo, as well as Campeche and Veracruz, contributing to economic growth in these underserved areas.

The network, which utilizes Nokia’s Flex-Grid Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) (DWDM) technology, stretches over 1,800 kilometers. It offers scalable services of 10G, 100G, and 200G, allowing users to access modern data centers and services critical for commerce and digital inclusion.

Nokia's 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) enables cost-effective service delivery with seamless upgrades to 400G and 800G capabilities. This built-in management system provides customers with real-time monitoring for enhanced reliability and performance.

Nestor Bergero, CEO of MX Fiber, emphasized the importance of this partnership with Nokia, stating it provides substantial capacity at lower operational costs which is vital for supporting significant infrastructure projects like the Interoceanic Corridor and Maya Train.

Nokia's Director of Network Infrastructure for Latin America, Javier Falcón, noted the project represents a substantial advancement for digital services in the region. He highlighted the network's capacity to deliver dependable and future-ready performance through optical technology.
