Nokia's new co-existence network element enables operators to deploy multiple PON technologies simultaneously on separate wavelengths without disrupting existing services.

This allows providers to extend the life of their infrastructure while addressing varied customer needs. Paired with Nokia's extensive multi-PON portfolio, the solution is ideal for both targeted and large-scale broadband deployments.

In a separate release, Nokia and blackened GmbH, which is majority-owned by Rheinmetall, inked a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop advanced deployable tactical networks for defense applications.

As part of the deal, the companies will integrate their respective technologies to create a specialized, mobile communication system tailored to Germany's defense needs, with the flexibility to be adapted for global applications.

In May, the company disclosed the launch of Aurelis Optical LAN, its latest fiber-optic Local Area Network (LAN) solution created to address the changing connectivity needs of enterprises.

Investors can gain exposure to the stock via iShares U.S. Digital Infrastructure and Real Estate ETF IDGT and Defiance Connective Technologies ETF SIXG.
