Jan. 22, 2026 – Nokia has secured a contract with Altafiber to support the company’s fiber network expansion across Ohio and Hawaii, where Altafiber operates as Hawaiian Telcom.

Under the agreement, Altafiber will deploy Nokia’s 25 Gigabit per second (Gbps) passive optical network (PON) technology, along with IP routing and advanced optical networking solutions, to scale multi-gigabit broadband services for residential and business customers.

Altafiber currently serves more than 300,000 customers, with its fiber network passing over 1.1 million premises across its footprint. The new deployment is intended to support growing bandwidth demand while allowing the provider to introduce higher-capacity services without overhauling its existing infrastructure.
