Espoo, Finland. Yerevan, Armenia: Today, Nokia announced that Team Telecom Armenia deployed its 25G PON fiber solution, making it one of the first operators in the Caucasus and Central Asia regions to provide some of the fastest internet speeds commercially available. The 25G PON deployment intends to cover B2B subscribers and offer real 20 Gb/s symmetrical broadband speeds crucial for emerging applications and business services fueling the digital economy.

Designed to support a full range of PON technologies, from GPON to 25G PON and beyond, Nokia’s fiber broadband solutions give operators the choice and flexibility to optimize their networks to their specific business cases and needs. Based on the Quillion chipset, Nokia’s 25G PON fiber broadband solution allows Team Telecom Armenia to reuse its existing fiber broadband equipment to immediately address the demand for more capacity and enhanced broadband services. The new 25G PON offering in Armenia will help Team Telecom Armenia provide faster connectivity to its customers and open the door to new enhanced services such as enterprise solutions, 5G mobile transport and network wholesaling.

Hayk Yesayan, CEO of Team Telecom Armenia, said: “We are at the forefront of a technological revolution in Armenia that will set new standards in Internet speed and reliability for our customers. Being a national operator, we see this project as a part of our mission to enhance broadband services not only in Yerevan but also to promote a new digital era across the entire country. Using Nokia’s most modern technologies means we are futureproofing our network and ensuring that our customers can enjoy the best possible online experiences both now, and in the years to come.”

Matthieu Bourguignon, Senior Vice President and head of Europe for Network Infrastructure business at Nokia, commented: “Our collaboration marks a significant milestone in delivering ultra-high-speed broadband in the Caucasus and Central Asia regions, leveraging Nokia’s advanced PON technologies. This initiative not only enhances connectivity for individuals and businesses in Armenia but also plays a crucial role in the country's economic and social development.”
