High-capacity switching and transport

Accelerate the next wave of digital connectivity

Deliver more capacity per optical fiber

The challenge

How do you keep up with bandwidth demands when network traffic is growing faster than the ability to acquire new fiber? How can you avoid leasing new fiber? How do you guarantee reliability and network survivability and avoid fiber or equipment failures?

Our approach

We feature programmable hardware with extensive embedded monitoring points for enhanced management, analytics apps for real-time network visibility, and intuitive user interfaces with software automation to simplify operations.

The benefits

You can optimize capacity and performance with innovations that give you intelligent, programmable core networks that can scale at the right cost points to drive your business forward, delivering more fiber capacity at the lowest cost per bit.

Ciena ups the ante in the delivery of high-performance coherent solutions, using advanced technology and high bandwidth electro-optics with WaveLogic 6, which is expected to be the first 1.6Tbps wavelength transmitted over a single carrier.
