PlannerPlus
Level up with online planning to maximize ROI
Are you faced with the need to build-out network capacity in a world of ever-increasing demand for bandwidth? That’s a good challenge to have. With the PlannerPlus online network planning and design tool, a component of Ciena’s Navigator Intelligent Apps , you can build and augment your optical network quickly and easily. That means you can grow incrementally, as needed, and avoid spending capital dollars today for capacity that will be underutilized for months to come.
Planning made simple
With PlannerPlus, you can easily design photonic DWDM networks and validate them using sophisticated link engineering, resulting in designs that are guaranteed over the life of the system. Choose from a wide range of configurations for planning photonic lines over fiber routes, and for supporting wavelengths from 10G to 800G—as well as planning client services over those wavelengths. PlannerPlus automates the workflow, creates the quote, and generates commissioning scripts. Once the physical equipment is in place, deployment is a mere click away.
