Nokia was selected by KPN to upgrade the Netherlands’ core digital infrastructure to support KPN’s fixed and mobile services for millions of users.

KPN is the leading telecom provider in the Netherlands, offering mobile, fixed-line, IT and wholesale services, and it has been expanding its fiber-optic network. The FabriQ initiative was described as the digital backbone linking all access types to any service or cloud and intended to support increased speed, greater resilience and reduced energy use for consumer, business and wholesale users across a range of enterprise sectors.

Nokia was selected to supply FP5-powered IP routers and PSE-6 optical systems specified to support more than 216 terabits per second, up from 48 Tbps, and to enable customer services above 10 gigabits per second. The program included a brownfield deployment at this scale in Europe of segment routing over IPv6 (SRv6), which decoupled network control from physical topology to simplify automation, improve fault handling and allow more flexible traffic management.

The program replaced KPN’s current infrastructure and described FabriQ as connecting any access type to any service on any layer, including KPN’s cloud or public cloud providers. The PR said the design built in advanced encryption and intelligent failover and supported services such as IP core and peering, metro core, monitoring and lawful intercept, optical core and service edge to provide high-capacity connectivity and improved Quality of Service (QoS) for business and wholesale customers.

“FabriQ is the foundation of KPN’s digital infrastructure. It supports millions of Dutch businesses and users across a range of sectors including manufacturing, commercial real estate and smart building. We are happy to select Nokia as our technology partner. Nokia’s high-performance IP and optical platforms give us the capacity, security and automation we need for today’s services and for the next decade of digital growth,” said Erik Brands, Executive Vice-President, Network, KPN.

The companies described plans to help KPN meet its ambition to maintain its position as the Netherlands’ leading digital service provider.
