Nokia has revealed that POST Luxembourg plans to become the first operator in Europe to fully transition its broadband infrastructure to a software-driven access network by 2025. POST Luxembourg will utilize Nokia’s Altiplano Access Controller and Lightspan fiber access nodes to boost network efficiency, scalability, and adaptability.
With an expanding range of broadband services and diverse customer needs, POST Luxembourg recognized the necessity to eliminate data silos, enhance operational workflows, and ensure top-quality service at all times. To build a self-managing, artificial intelligence (AI)-ready fiber network, POST Luxembourg will rely on Nokia’s technology for multiple operational enhancements.

Boosting Efficiency and Innovation
The collaboration will enable POST Luxembourg to significantly reduce operational errors, enhance customer experiences, and speed up the development of new services. The network will be equipped to quickly identify and address anomalies before they affect the service, monitor up to 20 times more data points for better performance, and support AI-driven applications.
Moreover, implementing real-time power monitoring tools will ensure efficient energy usage, resulting in cost savings and a reduced environmental impact. By utilizing open application programming interfaces (APIs), POST Luxembourg will be able to deploy new features faster, integrate new technologies seamlessly, and provide next-gen services such as XGS and 25G PON (passive optical network) that will fuel innovations in cloud gaming, enterprise networks, and other digital experiences.

Preparing for the future of Broadband
Pierre Scholtes, Head of Telecom Networks at POST Luxembourg, shared, “As POST transitions to an all-fiber network by 2030, we’re optimizing the efficiency, capacity, and availability of our fiber access network. By using Lightspan access nodes and the Altiplano automation platform, we strengthen our collaboration with Nokia, preparing the network for AI-supported operations and increased reliability and solidifying our position as Luxembourg’s leading fixed network provider.”
Geert Heyninck, General Manager of Broadband Networks at Nokia, added, “As networks become more complex, operators need solutions that can help drive automation, simplify management and reduce OpEx (operating expenditure). Our Lightspan family and Altiplano domain controller are designed to help operators do that. The combination of 10/25G readiness, mission-critical availability, and automation ensures that our customers are ready for the future of broadband, now.”
This landmark collaboration is set to drive Europe’s broadband evolution, laying the foundation for a new era of advanced connectivity.
