The refreshed IP aggregation and edge networks will support increased broadband speeds and enable Vortex to expand services to underserved areas. This collaboration will transform Vortex’s broadband network, enabling more than 150 smaller ISPs connected to its network to access high-speed, scalable infrastructure and deliver enhanced internet services to their local customers across the three states. With Nokia’s advanced Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) solution, Vortex will streamline its infrastructure by consolidating multiple lower-capacity BNGs into a single, scalable system capable of supporting more than 200,000 subscribers. This strategic investment will reduce CAPEX and OPEX while improving reliability. The upgrade positions Vortex to introduce higher-speed broadband plans and scale rapidly across Maharashtra, Goa, and Gujarat. Alongside its retail expansion, Vortex is also 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. 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. “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,” said Vineet Nishar (Lalu), Managing Director at Vortex Group. “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,” said Jivitesh Nayal, Head of Business Development for Network Infrastructure at Nokia India.
