i4Networks deploys Nokia's optical solution to deliver data center interconnection services across the Netherlands
- i4Networks deploys Nokia optical solutions to deliver next-generation optical data center interconnect (DCI) services across the Netherlands, with expansion into neighboring countries.
- i4Networks' Software Defined Wave Switching (SDWS) enables customers to activate optical high-capacity services in days instead of weeks, supporting cloud, AI, media, and financial trading workloads.
- Powered by Nokia's 1830 optical platforms, the network delivers scalable 100G and 400G optical connectivity with built-in resilience for faster, more reliable, and more secure data flows.
10 September 2025
Espoo, Finland – Nokia today announced that i4Networks has deployed its optical solutions
to deliver next-generation optical DCI services across the Netherlands and abroad. The new next-generation DCI platform reinforces the Netherlands' position as a leading European internet hub, delivering faster and more cost-efficient connectivity while supporting the rapid expansion of data centers and cross-border data flows.
The deployment enables i4Networks' SDWS solution, empowering the company to activate capacity for their customers in days, rather than weeks or months typical of traditional optical connections. This capability represents a significant shift for i4Networks, moving beyond transparent IP/MPLS connections. By extending this agility to the optical layer, the company can now offer the same level of on-demand service activation at higher capacities and with greater security, addressing the fast-growing needs of cloud providers, AI workloads, media services, and financial trading platforms.
Leveraging the Nokia 1830 PSS-8 and 1830 PSI-M optical platforms, the new network delivers faster and more reliable interconnection between data centers while giving i4Networks customers the ability to easily scale capacity to 100G or 400G as demand surges, while built-in resilience automatically reroutes traffic in the event of fiber cuts or other disruptions.
"With Nokia's solutions, i4Networks' SDWS optical service gives our customers unprecedented flexible ways at deploying optical connectivity between data centers in the Netherlands at a fraction of the cost of the current solutions," said Dirk Pol, CEO of i4Networks. "What once required complex engineering and long lead times can now be done in days, opening new possibilities for resellers, internet exchanges, and cloud providers to deliver secure optical services when and where required."
"This deployment with i4Networks demonstrates the power of Nokia's optical solutions to deliver secure data center interconnection services," said Mark Vanderhaegen, Head of Business Development, Data Center Networks at Nokia. "By using the latest generation of ROADM technology, we can dynamically add, drop, or redirect individual wavelengths of light in the network without disrupting other traffic, enabling automated service activation at the optical layer. We are helping our customers to reduce operational complexity, accelerate new service rollouts, and strengthen Europe's digital backbone."
