To use your network as an innovation platform you need high bandwidth connectivity with no downtime. Did you know that you can now efficiently support up to 800Gb/s speeds and 400GE client connectivity across any distance—all with reduced space and energy consumption? With tens of thousands of 800G modem deployments over two years and counting, Ciena’s WaveLogic 5 Extreme (WL5e) is transforming networks across the globe. Innovate faster with the industry leader in 800G. Read on to learn how.
Get more capacity using existing network assets. With programmability from 200G to 800G, WaveLogic 5 Extreme delivers at least 50 percent more capacity per wavelength and a 30 percent increase in fiber capacity versus previous technologies.
Enable 400GbE single-wave transport across any distance, even transpacific. Now you can scale your network at the pace of business with less power and cost.
Offer higher connectivity services all while evolving to a greener network. Reduce footprint and energy consumption by 50 percent or more compared to previous-generation technologies.
"In today’s increasingly hyper-connected world, delivering an incredible customer experience depends on the ability to create innovative services and provide the capacity needed to meet constantly changing demands. Ciena’s WL5e technology allows us to deliver on that ambition."
"In the past, we needed to combine multiple wavelengths to achieve 800 Gbps capacity. Now, with the new optics configuration from Ciena, we are advancing our connecting layer of fiber to prepare for 5G."
"This recent achievement allows us to benefit from Ciena's continued innovation in its coherent optical technology, optimizing both our network architecture as well as our overall cost per bit."
"We pride ourselves on always being a step ahead and this move will push us over the threshold. We will increase network capacity and efficiency, and create a more adaptive network that can meet our customer’s needs now and into the future."
"Together with superior coherent modems and a proven support system, the openness, flexibility and greener profile of this network will play a key role in our ability to accelerate discoveries in the research and education community."
"It’s already common for business customers to ask for a 100 Gb/s connection, whereas even five years ago 10 Gb/s connections were standard. The up to eight-fold capacity increase we’ll get with the OTN 2 network is key to meeting this huge demand for data capacity."
"After extensive review in our quest to innovate and meet growing customer demands, it was clear that Ciena was the best partner to support our nationwide network transformation and ability to adapt to digital disruption."
“Increasing the ability to interface into Telstra’s Next Generation Optical Network will allow us to scale more efficiently and provide an enhanced experience for our mobile, fixed broadband, enterprise and wholesale customers.”
Altibox Carrier and Ciena broke the 800G transmission record, turning up 800G unregenerated wavelengths across >1100 km. Altibox is bringing high capacity, green data center connectivity from Norway to key digital hubs in Europe using Ciena's Wavelogic 5 Extreme.
"WaveLogic 5 pushes the envelope and helps us execute on our network evolution plans to continue supporting next-generation applications that require endless bandwidth."
"Ciena’s innovative 800G coherent optics enable Vodafone New Zealand to execute on our vision to provide New Zealanders with access to the world’s best digital services."
“We are very confident in our ability to address the needs of global hyperscalers, when our network can easily scale up to 800 Gbps and beyond with Ciena’s technology. This game-changing offering will also be attractive to over-the-top players and international carriers.”
When you want to extend the capacity and optical-layer simplification benefits of coherent technology to access applications, or when reduced power and area and line interoperability requirements are more important than spectral efficiency.
