Clearfield's NOVA™ Platform

Clearfield receives gold award in the 2026 ISE Network Innovators' Awards program.

Clearfield’s NOVA™ Platform provides a modular, high-density fiber ecosystem that simplifies how modern networks are built and scaled. This comprehensive platform empowers professionals in today’s broadband central offices, hyperscale and colocation data centers, and edge applications to meet their growth and performance objectives. As operators face exponential fiber growth driven by AI workloads, cloud expansion, and edge computing, NOVA enables support for rising 100G/400G demands without overhauling existing infrastructure.

The platform reduces operational expenses through toolless installation, front-of-rack access for moves/adds/changes, integrated documentation, and consistent design across panels, cassettes, racks, and cabinets. These features streamline technician training, reduce installation time, minimize errors and downtime, and lowers both labor and inventory costs compared to traditional high-density systems.

NOVA creates new revenue opportunities by accelerating deployments and service turn-up, allowing operators to bring capacity online faster, respond quickly to market demand, and monetize high-bandwidth and edge computing services with greater speed and efficiency. The platform is designed for deployment across data centers, broadband central offices, and distributed edge environments, enabling scalable growth as network demands evolve.
