HANOVER, Md. – February 8, 2021 – As end-user digital applications continue to proliferate and require global networks to become more adaptive, Southern Cross Cable Limited (“Southern Cross”) has picked Ciena’s (NYSE: CIEN) GeoMesh Extreme submarine solution utilising Ciena’s 6500 Submarine Line Terminating Equipment (“SLTE”) powered by WaveLogic 5 Extreme coherent optics for the new 13,494 km Southern Cross NEXT (“NEXT”) submarine cable in the Pacific. This deployment will allow Southern Cross to not only tackle the growing demand for bandwidth but also support the resiliency, reconfigurability, and rapid activation requirements that their customers have become accustomed to fro
Southern Cross Selects Ciena to Enhance NEXT Cable Amid Global Bandwidth Boom
Coherent optical solutions to support the largest submarine network connecting Australasia to the US West Coast
HANOVER, Md. (BUSINESS WIRE) As end-user digital applications continue to proliferate and require global networks to become more adaptive, Southern Cross Cable Limited (“Southern Cross”) has picked Ciena’s (NYSE: CIEN) GeoMesh Extreme submarine solution utilising Ciena’s 6500 Submarine Line Terminating Equipment (“SLTE”) powered by WaveLogic 5 Extreme coherent optics for the new 13,494 km Southern Cross NEXT (“NEXT”) submarine cable in the Pacific. This deployment will allow Southern Cross to not only tackle the growing demand for bandwidth but also support the resiliency, reconfigurability, and rapid activation requirements that their customers have become accustomed to from Southern Cross.
Two trends have been driving optical networks forward – advanced, coherent technology and compact, modular platforms. What if you could combine performance and density into one device? Ingress this article to examine Ciena’s WaveLogic 5 Extreme, striving to deliver high performance in a compact and efficient footprint.
Wholesale operator Telia Carrier said it has become one of the first major network operators to use a new network architecture called routed optical networking.
In this network, the carrier s routers would be connected, hop-by-hop, over wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) links with pluggable optical transceivers. To oversimplify, Telia Carrier will benefit from no longer having to separately manage an optical network and an IP network to provide 400 Gbit/s of connectivity over short distances.
Pluggables propel a shift in network architecture
