How enterprise partners are supporting campus modernisation
Nokia and Alcatel are partnering to deliver advanced network solutions that help support the digital transformation of campuses in Greece, Brunei and London.
At a glance
Who: Ikos Resorts (Greece); Pantai Jerudong Hospital (Brunei); UK’s Wembley Park; Nokia; and Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise.
What: The enterprise organisations are partnering to deliver end-to-end networking solutions to help modernise and future-proof the respective campus networks.
Why: Enable the organisations to establish a campus-wide fibre-based low area network (Lan) network capable of delivering multi-gigabit data speeds. The technology also includes lower energy consumption and total cost of ownership.
Ikos Resorts (Greece), Pantai Jerudong Hospital (Brunei), and the UK’s Wembley Park (London borough of Brent) have all deployed new networking solutions to help modernise and future-proof their respective campus networks.
The deployments from Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise (ALE) in partnership with Nokia will help establish a campus-wide fibre-based low area network (Lan) network capable of delivering multi-gigabit data speeds to customers.
Significant milestone
These recent wins mark a significant milestone in Nokia’s five-year partnership with ALE and add to a list of successful deployments including at Grand Paris Express, Montreal Railways and Okada Manila Resort.
Nokia’s Optical Lan provides enterprises and campuses with a high-capacity fibre-based network capable of supporting the growing bandwidth needs for all in-campus devices and applications. Integrated into ALE’s comprehensive network offering for enterprise in-building and campus connectivity, the company claims the technology offers significant advantages, including lower energy consumption and total cost of ownership.
“By combining ALE’s agile enterprise networking solutions with Nokia’s carrier-grade infrastructure, we offer a comprehensive portfolio that addresses the unique needs of critical industries”
ALE’s advanced Lan and wifi provide an automated solution that efficiently and securely onboard devices while securing the network thanks to asset discovery and classification, virtual segmentation and continuous monitoring. Features include Layer 2 services, HPOE and optional redundant uplinks.
By integrating their respective networking portfolios, the two companies reckon they are positioned to meet the evolving demands of complex environments such as hospitality segments where resorts like Ikos are using their combined solution to connect hundreds of bedrooms across their luxury all-inclusive sites.

With Nokia and ALE solutions, the companies report that Ikos was able to run its guest services, CCTV, voice, wifi, and building safety sensors through a single, high availability network architecture. The fibre infrastructure also helped to save space and reduce the number of network layers.
“Our collaboration with Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise allows us to deliver end-to-end, mission-critical solutions that go beyond traditional boundaries. We are proud of the joint successes we’ve achieved and look forward to enabling even more transformative projects together,” said Matthieu Bourguignon, senior vice-president, head of Europe at Nokia.
Sandrine El Khodry, EVP global sales and marketing at Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise, said: “By combining ALE’s agile enterprise networking solutions with Nokia’s carrier-grade infrastructure, we offer a comprehensive portfolio that addresses the unique needs of critical industries. Our partnership is built on trust, innovation, and a shared commitment to customer success.”
