Xantaro Group, a leading solution and managed service provider for high-performance networks and security solutions, has announced a collaboration agreement with Nokia. As part of its expanding Managed Services portfolio, Xantaro today announces the launch of its new Managed Systems Services, beginning with a unique fully managed offering for Nokia Altiplano. This marks the first in a series of planned innovations designed to support customers in evolving toward more automated, intelligent network operations.
As the market matures, many network operators are focusing on driving subscriber take-up rates. However, to ensure smooth, single-visit customer installations, operators need highly resilient, 24/7 network availability without the burden of managing complex IT infrastructure.
To solve this industry challenge, Xantaro's Managed Altiplano offering provides a carrier grade turnkey, all-in-one solution:
- Standardised Hardware: Xantaro specifies, installs, and standardises the required servers, switches, and firewalls directly within the customer's network.
- End-to-End Management: Xantaro's expert engineers completely manage the Kubernetes cluster and Altiplano platform remotely, taking away major operational burden for the provider.
- Seamless Upgrades: Because the hardware is standardised across Xantaro's customer estate, complex software upgrades and testing only need to be conducted once, ensuring all operators benefit from the latest features efficiently and securely.

Jürgen Städing, Chief Operating Officer, Xantaro Group, commented: "This agreement marks a significant milestone for Xantaro Group across Europe. We are elevating our longstanding relationship with Nokia into a true partnership where we are actively selling services. By combining our Group-wide integration expertise with Nokia’s world-class technology, we are delivering an unmatched proposition to the European market."
Marcus Cuthbert, Managing Director, Xantaro UK, added: "For many service providers, recruiting and retaining the Kubernetes and software skills required to run modern orchestration platforms is a major headache. Our Managed Altiplano service completely removes that pain point. By standardising the hardware and all-in-one the management, we ensure the platform is available 24/7, allowing our customers to focus entirely on driving subscriber take-up and delivering a flawless installation experience."
Sylvain Rajaud, Vice President, Head of Partner Sales Management, Europe at Nokia, commented: “Nokia’s Altiplano platform is the industry standard for fixed network automation, with cloud native architecture and proven multi-vendor interoperability. Xantaro’s Managed Altiplano service complements our technology by providing the scalability and hands‑on support to operators who lack in-house expertise, enabling them to accelerate growth while confidently transitioning toward more efficient, automated networks.
