Nokia has partnered with Indian ISP Ishan Technologies to upgrade its broadband services in Gujarat and Maharashtra.
Under the agreement, Nokia will deploy several solutions – including its Altiplano Software-Defined Access Network (SDAN) solution, Broadband Network Gateway (BNG), Data Centre Fabric and IP/MPLS transport network solution – enabling Ishan Technologies to deliver high-speed, reliable broadband services for its retail and enterprise customers.
The upgraded network will automate routine operations like service activation and provisioning, enabling faster rollout of new services, reducing operational costs, and enhancing customer experiences. Ishan Technologies is undertaking this network modernisation to expand its retail broadband services across key cities in Gujarat and Maharashtra.
The initiative will also support the growing demand for cloud-based services and future-proof Ishan Technologies’ network to meet the increasing bandwidth needs of its customers. To further strengthen this collaboration, Nokia will also conduct training programs to empower Ishan Technologies’ team to independently deploy and maintain the new solutions.
Dr. Keyur Jathal, Director & CMO at Ishan Technologies, said: “Leveraging Nokia’s state-of-the-art technology and expertise allows us to lead the SDAN adoption and set new benchmarks for broadband connectivity in India. Our enhanced infrastructure will benefit our 256,000 subscribers, introducing gigabit broadband services for the small and medium enterprises and corporate customers.”
Jivitesh Nayal, Head of Emerging Business for Network Infrastructure at Nokia India, said: “The deployment of our advanced solutions will enable Ishan to unlock new capabilities and deliver next-generation broadband services to retail and enterprise users. We are delighted to provide our high-capacity, silicon-based 7750 BNG, 400G-ready transport routers, Data Center Fabric, and NSP to support a robust, high-uptime network. Nokia’s end-to-end SDAN solution is changing the game for how service providers operate their networks. With the cloud-optimized platform that we have delivered, they will be able to efficiently unlock new use cases and meet the evolving needs of India's digital economy.”
