Nokia to help AT&T boost fiber network with U.S.-made components

Nokia (NYSE:NOK) and AT&T (NYSE:T) have signed an agreement for fiber network expansion in the U.S., the Finnish company said Tuesday.

Nokia said it will provide the Lightspan MF and Altiplano platforms, which are Build America, Buy America-compliant, to expand and upgrade AT&T’s current fiber network under a five-year deal.

“Nokia’s Lightspan platform gives AT&T the choice and flexibility to optimize its network to its specific business case and needs. Nokia’s Altiplano Access Controller will also help drive higher levels of automation in AT&T’s network and service operations,” Nokia said in a statement.
