The communications landscape is rapidly changing. New applications and use cases driven by changing enterprise and residential market dynamics, 5G, and the cloud are creating exciting new revenue opportunities for communications service providers (CSPs). With IP/Optical convergence, network operators can address these new opportunities through a more cost-efficient and resilient IP network. However, there is no universal solution for architecture evolution as it depends on the unique network circumstances of each CSP. Ciena’s converged IP/Optical offerings start—and build—from existing networks and evolve to a more streamlined and programmatic infrastructure that can serve as the foundation for innovation in the new distributed services and content era.
