Ciena Adaptive Network Powers Southern Cross Cables Continual Expansion

摘要

To address skyrocketing customer demands for connectivity on the Southern Cross network, fueled by cloud, HD video, internet of things (loT)and more, Southern Cross Cables has significantly enhanced the scale, programmability and intelligence of its network by deploying Ciena's (NYSE: CIEN) WaveLogic Ai tunable coherent optics and the 6500 T-series. With these solutions from Ciena, Southern Cross' network can quickly adapt and respond, in realtime to changing and unexpected user demands. Southern Cross Cables' deployment of Ciena's GeoMesh Extreme solution is the first subsea deployment of WaveLogic Ai over compensated cable and includes the first deployment of 200Gbps wavelengths between Sydney and Auckland. The industry-leading functionality of Ciena's WaveLogic Ai allows Southern Cross to monitor links in real-time, so it can determine the ideal capacity for each channel across any path. WaveLogic Ai also provides massive scalability by allowing Southern Cross to add an additional 6.4Tbps of wavelength expansion across its subsea and terrestrial networks.
