Empowering Competition through Automated Wholesale Infrastructure
The Partnership
Customer: Nexia Bolivia (First Neutral Fiber Operator in Bolivia)
Integrator / Operations Partner: INET Bolivia (Nokia Distributor & Managed Services Provider)
Project Overview
Nexia Bolivia was established to transform the digital landscape of Santa Cruz de la Sierra. As a Neutral Fiber Network Operator, their mission is to provide high-speed broadband infrastructure that multiple retail service providers can utilize, preventing the need for costly and redundant infrastructure duplication.
The Challenge
Nexia required a robust, scalable platform to manage a complex wholesale environment:
- Market Neutrality: A platform that treats all retail ISPs equally.
- Operational Speed: Moving away from manual provisioning to instant service activation.
- Security: Maintaining a hard boundary between the core network and third-party retailers.
- Visibility: Real-time tracking of fiber builds and network health.
