…now a reality—thanks to Ciena. 40G/100G solutions, based on Ciena’s WaveLogic™ Coherent Optical Processors, vastly expand capacity without disrupting existing networks, providing simple and cost-effective upgrades from 10G to 40G or 100G, with a clear path to 400G. That’s game…

Boasting years of coherent deployment experience, 40G/100G solutions equipped with WaveLogicTM Coherent Optical Processors scale the capacity and reach of existing networks with operational simplicity. The system also features electronic dispersion compensation and supports directionless and colorless…

…successful completion of a next-generation 100 Gigabit per second (Gb/s) network trial on VTN’s backbone network, representing the first use of coherent 100G technology in Vietnam. The successful trial proves the operator can leverage its existing network assets to cost-effectively upgrade its nationwide…

…With the news, we also created this coherent technology page that includes a great application note on coherent optical processing and the below video where Ciena?s Rick Dodd explains the fundamentals of coherent.       2011 is the year for 100G   It?s always hard (if not impossible…

…-service path to 100G without disrupting existing customers, re-engineering our network or sending ships out to lay more fiber. With this one simple step, we bolster the value and extend the lifespan of our submarine network.” Ciena?s 40/100G technology – which includes coherent optics, electronic…

A big “congratulations” goes out to our optical engineers, as Ciena’s 100G coherent technology has once again won an industry award.  This latest award is from this week in Paris at Broadband World Forum (BBWF), one of the larger technology telecom events in the industry (and focused…

…systems to scale the capacity and reach of existing networks with operational simplicity. The company’s WaveLogic™ coherent optical processors enable 40G and 100G coherent transmission for terrestrial and submarine networks across ultra-long haul distances and are exclusively available inside…

Building on Ciena’s industry leadership in OTN, coherent optical processing, 40G/100G, Carrier Ethernet, and mesh restoration-capable control planes, the 5400 Family is fully compatible with and unites the best of these technologies to create a truly converged high-performance, highly available…

…Ovum research note, AT&T recently detailed an ultra long haul network vision at OFC/NFOEC that included OTN and called coherent solutions for 100G "a key enabler - coherent is the only way." Below is a great video by Ciena?s Jim Zik, where he goes through a basic 101 of What is OTN.  

Eastern Europe has its first 100G network, with Ciena and Felix Telecom today announcing that they are deploying Ciena?s coherent 100G technology carrying 100GbE traffic on the Romanian Educational Network (RoEduNet).  Felix Telecom is a Ciena BizConnect partner, and one of the largest system integrators…
