Ciena Customer Insights featuring Telesat

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.
