Ciena Customer Insights featuring Telesat
Telesat’s Director of Network Engineering discusses the role integrated satellite-terrestrial networks play in bridging the digital divide
1
00:00:08,925 --> 00:00:10,802
For the first time, non-terrestrial networks
2
00:00:10,802 --> 00:00:14,431
such as low-Earth orbit satellites,
LEO, are being fully integrated
3
00:00:14,431 --> 00:00:17,434
in terrestrial networks
to create hybrid infrastructures.
4
00:00:17,559 --> 00:00:20,520
Our LEO network, Telesat
Lightspeed, will provide high
5
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,565
throughput backhaul connectivity
to extend the geographic reach
6
00:00:23,857 --> 00:00:27,235
of terrestrial networks
to underserved and unserved regions,
7
00:00:27,819 --> 00:00:31,281
as well as connecting to users
directly on land, sea and air.
8
00:00:31,906 --> 00:00:35,160
Interest in the LEO constellations
has exploded in recent years,
9
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:38,496
fueled by ubiquitous
high throughput, low latency connectivity.
10
00:00:39,330 --> 00:00:42,667
Because LEO satellites are closer to Earth
than traditional geostationary
11
00:00:42,667 --> 00:00:45,962
satellites, performance is on par
with fiber optic networks.
12
00:00:46,504 --> 00:00:49,799
Increased performance makes it viable
to integrate with network providers
13
00:00:50,091 --> 00:00:53,094
to extend the reach of their networks,
and the 5G connectivity.
14
00:00:57,390 --> 00:00:57,849
We have designed
15
00:00:57,849 --> 00:01:01,102
our Telesat Lightspeed to meet the carrier
grade requirements of telcos.
16
00:01:01,686 --> 00:01:05,482
Built to telco standards, MeF 3.0 carrier
Ethernet integrate
17
00:01:05,482 --> 00:01:08,902
into our network the same way they would
any other carrier ethernet services.
18
00:01:08,902 --> 00:01:10,528
End-to-end visibility,
19
00:01:10,528 --> 00:01:14,240
control and management of their services
through our customer portal and APIs.
20
00:01:14,699 --> 00:01:18,286
Without having to contact Telesat
to modify any of their sites or services.
21
00:01:18,912 --> 00:01:20,121
We’re a carrier's carrier.
22
00:01:23,958 --> 00:01:26,336
We've built a strong
collaborative partnership with Ciena.
23
00:01:26,336 --> 00:01:30,090
For example, we've collaborated
on a network architecture proof of concept
24
00:01:30,298 --> 00:01:33,343
in Telesat’s lab designed
alongside Ciena’s services team.
25
00:01:34,052 --> 00:01:37,097
These activities are leading
to the development of new product features
26
00:01:37,097 --> 00:01:40,642
that are tailored to Telesat’s
unique use cases and business needs.
27
00:01:43,478 --> 00:01:44,270
Ciena has provided
28
00:01:44,270 --> 00:01:47,524
consistent support towards designing
unique and ambitious network solution.
29
00:01:47,941 --> 00:01:50,693
Together we've enhanced network protocols
to exceed requirements
30
00:01:50,693 --> 00:01:52,153
of traditional terrestrial networks.
31
00:01:52,153 --> 00:01:55,532
Ciena has supported the development
and deployment of these custom features
32
00:01:55,782 --> 00:01:59,285
and implemented in their platform
for the Telesat Lightspeed solution.
