Strengthening Iceland’s Connectivity

According to the official release, the multi-PON solution will initially be deployed in the capital city of Reykjavik before expanding to other cities and regions. Mila has built an extensive access network that connects nearly every company and household in Iceland, with more than 90 percent of homes having access to 1 Gbps internet speeds.

Meeting Growing Demands

Mila said the increasing demands for remote work, gaming, enterprise applications, and the digital economy are driving the necessity for new multi-gigabit services. That’s why Mila is upgrading its entire network to 10G, establishing a future-ready network capable of meeting the growing consumer demand for increased capacity and enhanced broadband services.

The upgrade, which involves enhancing existing Nokia fibre nodes and optical line terminals, is expected to be completed by 2024, according to the official release.

The currently deployed fibre access solution supports three generations of PON technologies, including GPON, XGS-PON, and 25G PON. This will enable Mila to efficiently upgrade its network to the next-generation PON technology whenever it wishes to expand its capacity.
