Nokia 1830 PSS Series
Bringing technology full circle
Building a sustainable and scalable optical network starts with the right platform. Whether you’re designing a metro, regional, or core optical network, the Nokia 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS) series offers a proven, flexible, and energy-efficient foundation for growth.
At PICS Telecom, we supply refurbished and new Nokia 1830 systems — helping operators modernise responsibly, reduce CapEx and OpEx, and extend the life of trusted optical infrastructure.
Understanding the Nokia 1830 PSS Series
The 1830 PSS family delivers high-capacity, multi-terabit transport solutions designed to support the evolution of modern optical networks.
Each model provides the right balance of scalability, performance, and energy efficiency:
- PSS-4 & PSS-8 – Compact, efficient systems ideal for metro and regional networks.
- PSS-16 & PSS-32 – High-performance platforms built for core and long-haul environments.
This flexibility allows operators to tailor capacity to current needs — and scale as traffic demands grow.
Escalabilidade e desempenho
The Nokia 1830 PSS range supports 100G, 200G, and 400G line rates, with advanced models featuring PSE-4 coherent optics for line rates beyond 600G.
These platforms combine flex-grid architecture and super-channel technology, increasing spectral efficiency and reducing the energy required per transmitted bit.
The result?
Supporting the Circular Economy
The 1830 PSS is engineered for longevity, recyclability, and reduced environmental impact — aligning perfectly with PICS Telecom’s circular economy principles.
- Energy Efficiency: Flex-grid and high-speed optics reduce total power draw.
- Extended Lifecycles: Durable design minimises frequent replacements, cutting electronic waste (WEEE).
- Recyclable Components: Hardware designed for responsible reuse and recovery.
By sourcing refurbished Nokia 1830 systems through PICS Telecom, operators meet both performance and ESG objectives, reducing waste and achieving measurable sustainability gains.
Optimising Costs and Operations
Balancing performance and cost is key to every network build.
Choosing the right 1830 PSS platform ensures optimal use of rack space, power, and capital expenditure:
- Metro Networks: Compact PSS-4 and PSS-8 minimise space and power costs.
- Core Networks: PSS-16 and PSS-32 deliver multi-terabit performance with superior energy efficiency.
With PICS Telecom’s tested, warrantied, and vendor-agnostic supply, operators can upgrade or expand optical networks cost-effectively while maintaining full environmental compliance.
