SDN Communications has picked Nokia to upgrade its IP and optical networks ahead of its launch of 5G services. SDN Communications, which is a business-to-business service provider primarily with customers in South Dakota and southern Minnesota, is using Nokia’s Network Services Platform (NSP) to reduce costs and automate its IP and optical networks.
NSP is a software-defined networking (SDN) platform for multi-layer, cross-domain and multi-vendor management of IP routing and optical transport assets. It works by unifying service automation, network optimization and assurance across a single software platform, which enables service providers such as SDN Communications to deliver on-demand network services at scale at reduced costs.
