Nokia’s new BNG solution introduces capability to evolve into a flexible multi-access gateway that can combine wireline and wireless access technologies, enabling us to further increase efficiencies. We are looking forward to working with Nokia on this crucial initiative,” said Joel Agustin, SVP of network planning and engineering, network technical group at Globe Telecom.

“We have a longstanding partnership with Globe Telecom and are now delighted to work on this initiative to modernize the BNG network for an overall improved broadband experience,” said Kent Wong, VP and head of IP business at Nokia Asia Pacific.
