Nokia’s first ‘Buy America’ products
Nokia has announced its first Buy America compliant products have rolled off the Sanmina manufacturing line, providing BEAD applicants with the broadband technology needed for critical infrastructure projects that will help close the digital divide. After announcing its plans in August 2023, with Sanmina, Nokia was able to deliver on its commitment to manufacture Buy America compliant products in the United States. Nokia Buy America compliant fibre-optic products include Nokia FX and MF OLT modular product lines; the SF-8M sealed OLT; and the XS-220X-A ONT. The first Nokia products to come off the Sanmina manufacturing line are its Optical Line Terminal (OLT) cards, which help connect users to fast, reliable gigabit data services. Nokia will self-certify each product according to NTIA specifications to ensure that listed vendors comply with the
final guidelines. The Nokia OLTs can be ordered as individual products or as part of Nokia’s Network-in-a-Box program. Sandy Motley, president of Fixed Networks at Nokia, said: “As leaders in broadband,
we’re excited to announce a significant milestone: our Buy America-compliant products are now rolling off the production line, giving BEAD applicants and infrastructure providers access to technology that
will be critical to bridging the digital divide. By aligning with Buy American guidelines, we’re actively contributing to the U.S. government’s mission of expanding nationwide broadband access.”
