Submarine networking
Maximize submarine network spectral efficiency with GeoMesh Extreme
Sustainably optimize the return on your submarine network assets
The challenge
Submarine networks carry over 99% of the world’s intercontinental electronic communications traffic. The challenge is to keep data flowing reliably while maximizing optical spectrum efficiency for optimized asset monetization.
Our approach
Ciena’s GeoMesh Extreme solution offers advanced submarine line terminal equipment (SLTE), software, and next-generation network management systems. With a full suite of professional services, we partner with you to ensure success from start to finish.
The benefits
With the flexibility of open cable systems, network operators can choose best-of-breed SLTE technologies, streamline processes, accelerate service innovation, reduce time-to-revenue, and keep pace with bandwidth demand.
