Nokia and Fibrus sign five-year deal for Deepfield solution

Nokia and Fibrus have signed a five-year agreement to deploy the Nokia Deepfield solution across Fibrus’ expanding network following a successful trial. This partnership aims to enhance Fibrus' ability to protect its network from cyber threats and manage the demand for high-quality broadband services.

Fibrus has connected over 100,000 customers and aims to deliver connectivity to almost 400,000 premises. With the Nokia Deepfield solution, Fibrus gains critical analytics capabilities to optimize network resources and maintain reliable broadband services.

Shane Haslem, COO at Fibrus, stated, “Our commitment to guarantee exceptional service for our customers means that we’re always looking for ways to innovate and improve our network. The Deepfield solution from Nokia gives us the tools to understand our traffic better, protect against potential threats, and reduce operational costs. This partnership allows us to futureproof the digital infrastructure in the areas we serve, maintaining the highest level of service and security for our 100,000-strong customer base.”

The growth of Fibrus' network is driven by a 50% take-up rate of Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) services. The scalability of the Nokia Deepfield solution will assist Fibrus in managing future expansions effectively.

Paul Alexander, Vice President and Country General Manager of UK&I at Nokia, said, “The Nokia Deepfield solution brings advanced network analytics, ensuring that Fibrus can maintain a secure and reliable network. This successful rollout with Fibrus demonstrates the reliability and robustness of Nokia’s technology in delivering an enhanced customer experience.”

Nokia has been supporting Fibrus since 2020 in delivering broadband services to underserved areas in Northern Ireland, providing essential technology and resources.
