Title: Nokia Upgrades Vortex's Network to Enhance Broadband Services in Maharashtra, Goa, and Gujarat

Nokia has recently upgraded Vortex Group's IP edge and transport network across Maharashtra, Goa, and Gujarat, significantly enhancing broadband services and supporting the company's expansion into Tier 3 and 4 cities. The upgrade, announced on September 1, 2025, aims to provide faster speeds, improved customer experience, and support Vortex's growth in underserved regions.

The new network infrastructure is based on an IP/MPLS architecture, which will transition Vortex's network from Layer 2 (L2) to Layer 3 (L3), enhancing operational efficiency and increasing overall capacity. This upgrade will enable Vortex to deliver high-speed internet services to more than 150 smaller ISPs connected to its network, benefiting local customers across the three states.

Nokia's advanced Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) solution will consolidate multiple lower-capacity BNGs into a single, scalable system capable of supporting more than 200,000 subscribers. This strategic investment will reduce capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operational expenditure (OPEX) while improving reliability. The upgrade positions Vortex to introduce higher-speed broadband plans and scale rapidly across the three states.

In addition to retail expansion, Vortex is leveraging Nokia's solutions to strengthen its internal backbone network, laying the groundwork for long-term growth, regional reach, and wholesale partnerships. Nokia's IP edge and transport platforms, powered by proprietary silicon technology, provide the flexibility and scalability essential for sustainable broadband service delivery.

Vineet Nishar (Lalu), Managing Director at Vortex Group, commented on the upgrade, stating, "Upgrading to Nokia’s IP/MPLS network allows us to deliver a superior broadband experience with greater reliability, capacity, and speed. This transformation positions us to expand into Tier 3 and Tier 4 cities across Maharashtra, Goa, and Gujarat, helping bridge the digital divide and unlock new growth opportunities. Our partnership with Nokia is a strategic step towards enabling high-speed internet access to more households and businesses across India."

Jivitesh Nayal, Head of Business Development for Network Infrastructure at Nokia India, added, "As we witness a growing surge in broadband, service providers need networks that scale efficiently while maintaining reliability. Our high-performance 7750 SR-1 BNG and 7250 IXR routers will enable the Vortex Group to modernize their networks and scale seamlessly while improving operational efficiency. This upgrade will enable them to consolidate infrastructure, reduce operational overhead, and enhance services for existing customers while also expanding into new markets."

The upgrade will significantly enhance Vortex’s broadband services by transitioning its network infrastructure from Layer 2 (L2) to a Layer 3 (L3) IP/MPLS-based architecture, improving operational efficiency and increasing overall capacity. As part of the deployment, Nokia will supply its 7250 IXR series routers and 7750 SR-1 BNG, enabling Vortex to replace its legacy BNGs and switches with high-capacity, scalable solutions built for long-term growth.
