Nokia's 7750 SR helps enable world-class broadband services with:

• highly scalable subscriber management
• granular bandwidth management and per-subscriber policy control
• deterministic performance
• a 75 percent reduction in power consumption over the previous FP4 silicon

Furthermore, Nokia's 7750 SR Extended Services Appliance (ESA) will help Netplus scale support of Carrier Grade Network Address Translation (CGNAT) and solve the challenges faced by increasing demand for connected endpoints.

Netplus Broadband's operations are spread across 400 plus cities and towns in several states in Northern India, with the biggest in the state of Punjab.

Commenting on this development, Arshdeep Singh Mundi, Executive Director at Netplus, said, "Our partnership with Nokia will help us achieve our goals of a world-class broadband experience for our customers and last-mile broadband expansion with the benefit of added capacity. The expanded coverage will leverage Nokia's state-of-the-art broadband access infrastructure and help Netplus cater to our customers’ increasing demand, helping drive the Digital India vision."
