Ciena

This February, we honored Black History Month with moments that brought us closer together. From sharing meals and listening to music by Black artists to friendly trivia competitions, these activities gave us the chance to reflect, celebrate, and connect. Plus, a few lucky raffle winners got to take home prizes sourced from local, Black-owned businesses! #CienaLife #BlackHistoryMonth

e& UAE is the first in the Middle East and Africa to deploy 1.6 Tb/s connectivity with WaveLogic 6 Extreme, boosting the network with ultra-high speed 400G client infrastructure connectivity, supporting 10 Gb home services and wholesale and domestic business customer traffic with 100G and 400G requirements. https://lnkd.in/esw2j_CY

The photonic layer is the backbone of modern networks, enabling on-going scale at the lowest cost, power and latency. How can it help operators continue to address today and tomorrow's connectivity demands? Paulina Gomez explains the critical role Ciena's programmable photonics are playing in the future of networking. Read now: https://lnkd.in/eJGGbtcP.

Today we have announced that Lumen Technologies is enhancing its network with Ciena’s coherent optical innovations web.ciena.com/55536e. This will strengthen Lumen’s ability to deliver highly tailored, scalable connectivity services to major cloud and data center providers striving to keep pace with the growth of Artificial Intelligence (#AI) workloads and associated traffic. As Lumen’s preferred optical vendor, we are happy to play a key role in positioning Lumen to meet AI demand. Learn more in this press release: web.ciena.com/55536e

Uniti Fiber is deploying Ciena's WaveLogic 5 Nano (WL5n) PKT-MAX coherent pluggable transceivers, making it possible for Uniti to transition to a highly efficient converged IP/optical infrastructure while quadrupling network speed. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eqwqfbFF.

We had a great time at Submarine Networks EMEA, meeting with customers, partners, and other industry leaders to discuss sustainability, AI, and scaling submarine networks. Ciena's full annual masterclass was a special highlight! Thanks to all who made the week a success!

IP and optical network teams each have their own domain technical expertise and at no time is that more obvious than during the capacity planning phase. Forecasting and analysis of customer demands at the IP layer trickle down to the optical layer, and designs get iterated, but holistic visibility is lacking, often leading to suboptimal results. Ciena’s Erik McLaughlin describes how Ciena’s Navigator Network Control Suite helps in coordinating planning across layers, achieving optimized network designs with shorter lead times. https://bit.ly/4gOxMTk
