Elisa Expands 10G Fiber Rollout in Estonia With Multi-Standard PON Deployment Elisa is expanding deployment of Vecima’s Entra EXS1610 All-PON Shelf to support 10G fiber-to-the-home services in Estonia.
The EXS1610 platform supports multiple PON standards including GPON, XGS-PON and 10G-EPON, giving Elisa flexibility across different fiber access technologies.
Elisa plans to install the EXS1610 across its Estonian footprint, building on its existing use of Vecima PON equipment.
For investors, this move indicates ongoing investment in fixed network capacity and service quality in Estonia. By using a compact All-PON shelf that supports several standards, Elisa can serve current GPON customers while also offering higher-speed XGS-PON and 10G-EPON where there is demand, without committing to a single technology path.
This type of multi-standard platform can support management of operating costs and simplify upgrades as customer requirements change. It also underscores the role of fiber in Elisa’s access network mix, which can be relevant for service differentiation, customer retention and potential upselling of higher-bandwidth tiers over time.

Elisa Introduces a Feature Allowing Customers to Block Incoming Calls from Foreign Number At the end of August, Elisa introduced a feature allowing customers to block incoming calls from foreign numbers if they are not expecting such calls (link in Finnish), which helps to eliminate scam calls from foreign numbers. Over 10,000 customers have already activated this call blocking, and it is already making scammers' methods less effective. Call blocking does not affect calls made from Finnish numbers, which will continue to work normally even when the user is in a foreign country.riminals areered, as their attempted scam calls to Finland from foreign numbers to Finland are no longer getting through as easily. Elisa's network data shows that customers who enable foreign call blocking may receive as many as 55 call attempts in a short period from a variety of country codes. This behaviour is straight from the scammers' playbook: The majority of unwanted calls from abroad occur on weekdays during office hours, with weekends being quieter. There are also often signs of " campaigns" on some days, thousands of calls are made to Finland, while on other days, there are hardly any. In recent days, the new solution has blocked over 800 unwanted foreign calls per day, on average, with the number rising rapidly as the user base expands. It will be interesting to see how long scammers continue trying to make calls to Finland. Blocking foreign numbers is not something that has happened much in other countries, and scammers have rarely encountered it elsewhere. Finland is once again taking the lead internationally in blocking scam calls. Blocking foreign numbers is one of the features of Elisa's "Liittymaturva" subscriptions and is easy to enable in OmaElisa. The feature is ideal for young people, senior citizens and others who don't generally expect calls from abroad. Calls from Finnish numbers are not affected, so a call from a family member travelling abroad will connect normally if the caller is calling from a Finnish phone number. Ankündigung • Sep 03
