From 4G/5G xHaul routers and coherent optics to analytics-driven automation and professional services, our solutions are designed to work in any network environment. Check out our blog and vision paper to learn how you can break free from vendor lock-in and realize the true promise of 5G. It’s your time to own the edge.

Flexible xHaul for 5G evolution

As operators deploy and evolve 5G networks, they need to optimize performance and coverage while minimizing costs and unlocking new revenues. Ciena’s open, scalable, and automated 5G Transport Solutions allow operators to choose their own path in their 5G evolution, providing unmatched transport flexibility when introducing new spectrum, cell sites, architectures, or RAN elements from different vendors.
