Finnish telecommunications vendor Nokia has launched the Fiber Techzone knowledge hub—a free resource that new operators can leverage to learn how to plan, fund, build, operate, and monetise a broadband network.
Fibre broadband today has reached 850 million homes—or 65% of the global population, and will grow to 70% by 2025, according to analyst and consultancy firm Omdia.
Omdia says community-based operators are leading the drive to connect harder-to-reach homes.
Governments worldwide are providing investment to support fibre deployment, but completing grant applications requires deep domain understanding, Omdia noted.

“As evidenced by US$65 billion ($91 billion) being pledged in the US and £5 billion ($8.5 billion) in the UK for broadband network deployment grants, supporting Alternative Network Operators, or ‘Altnets’ will be crucial to bridging the digital divide,” said S&P Global senior research analyst for broadband infrastructure Erik Keith.
Nokia’s Fibre Techzone will provide broadband builders with much-needed insight—from high-level explanations of how fibre-to-the-home networks work to how they can improve in-home Wi-Fi experience for their customers and to recommendations on how to monetise their fibre investment.
“Fibre Techzone is intended to bring up to speed everyone who is starting with fibre and will be a must-bookmark site giving new builders a head-start in their planning and operation,” said Nokia fixed networks president Sandy Motley.
Nokia was the 2021 market share leader for XGS-PON equipment, according to Dell’Oro Group.
Fibre Techzone draws on Nokia’s 20+ years of building fibre networks.
“High-speed broadband is no longer a nice to have but is essential for access to education, healthcare and new, innovative services coming to the digital marketplace,” concluded Nokia chief corporate affairs officer Melissa Schoeb.
