Nokia Deploys Gigabit Network for MX Fiber in Southeast Mexico

Nokia has deployed a high-speed optical transport backbone network for MX Fiber, extending gigabit access across Southeast Mexico. The network will support economic revitalization and modern services for communities, businesses, and government projects. It will provide faster internet, cloud access, and support for data-intensive applications in Chiapas, Tabasco, Quintana Roo, Campeche, and Veracruz.

Nokia has announced the deployment of a high-speed optical transport backbone network for MX Fiber, extending gigabit access across Southeast Mexico. This network promises to support economic revitalization and modern services for communities, businesses, and government projects in the region [1].

The new network, which covers a distance of 1,800 km, will provide faster internet, enhanced cloud access, and support for data-intensive applications in Chiapas, Tabasco, Quintana Roo, Campeche, and Veracruz. This expansion will be powered by Nokia’s Flex-Grid DWDM technology and 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS), which supports scalable 10G, 100G, and 200G services, with line capacity growth up to 2.4 Tb/s [2].

The deployment is set to support major infrastructure projects such as the Interoceanic Corridor and Maya Train, which are designed to spur economic development in the region. Nestor Bergero, CEO of MX Fiber, expressed his satisfaction with the partnership, stating, "We are very happy to work with Nokia to deploy a proven, optical solution that delivers massive capacity and high-quality services at a lower operational cost. This solution is crucial to supporting our customers and to the success of mega-projects such as the Interoceanic Corridor of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and Maya Train which are designed to spur economic development in the region. We look forward to continuing to grow and evolve with Nokia" [3].

The Nokia 1830 PSS solution ensures efficient and cost-effective service delivery with seamless upgrades to 400G and 800G without disrupting existing services. Built-in dynamic network management and real-time performance monitoring via Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry (OTDR) provide MX Fiber customers with robust, responsive, and future-ready connectivity [1].

Javier Falcón, Director of Network Infrastructure for Latin America, Nokia, noted, "This is a major step forward for digital inclusion and economic empowerment in Southeastern Mexico. We’re honored to support MX Fiber with world-class optical technology that delivers scale, reliability, and future-ready performance" [3].
