Nokia has signed a deal to establish the world’s largest fixed network testbed in Chennai.
This testbed will spearhead Nokia’s technological innovations in 10 gigabit (G), 25G, 50G, and 100G passive optical networks.
The centre, involving an investment of about Rs 450 crore, will be one of Nokia’s largest research and development (R&D) laboratories (labs). It will also focus on fixed wireless access, and multi-dwelling unit solutions, as well as access networks and home controllers.
The deal was signed in San Francisco in the presence of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister (CM) M K Stalin, who is on a 17-day trip to the US to attract fresh investments.
This is his fifth overseas trip since the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam came to power in 2021, following visits to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Singapore, Japan, and Spain to attract investment proposals for Tamil Nadu.
The Nokia centre will be established at the State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu in Siruseri.
The centre by the Finnish major will propel the development of next-generation networks and create around 100 specialised jobs.
