Nokia, Orange France complete live optical network tomography trial in Orange transport network

The results supported earlier detection of degradation or configuration issues, improving network validation and helping protect customer SLAs.

The work also indicated potential capacity gains via better link condition awareness, supporting AI-assisted operations and closed-loop automation.

The approach relied on existing installed equipment, reducing the need for field interventions.

Nokia partnered with Orange France to complete a live network tomography trial on Orange’s optical transport network.

The trial delivered near real-time visibility across optical links using coherent transmission data processed with Nokia Bell Labs algorithms.
