Nokia selected by TenneT to provide optical networking technology

Nokia (NOK) has been selected by TenneT to provide the optical networking technology for eight new two-gigawatt platforms in the Dutch North Sea to deliver renewable energy to land. TenneT has commissioned three consortia – Petrofac and Hitachi Energy consortium, GE Vernova-Seatrium (GEV) consortium and GE Vernova-McDermott consortium – to deliver the two GW offshore converter platforms and onshore grid land stations. As part of this deployment, Nokia will deliver advanced amplification and transponder technologies to support long-distance transmission, single-span unrepeatered transmission of up to 400 km.
