As demand for high-bandwidth services grows, the networking landscape is shifting toward infrastructures based on integrated Ethernet and OTN. Ciena offers solutions that seamlessly integrate OTN, optical Ethernet, programmable ports, service-level management, and software automation.

High-capacity optical transport from metro to ultra long-haul
Ciena integrates OTN and optical Ethernet into advanced transport platforms that provide true single-wavelength 100G—providing a solid infrastructure that can handle demands well into the future.

Reconfigurable network switching
A next-generation, high-capacity service-enabling infrastructure should deliver more services, and give you more reliability—at a lower cost. Reconfigurable network switches make that possible.

As user demands evolve, Ciena’s 5400 family of switches can be easily reconfigured. This flexibility allows you to upgrade to an Ethernet- and OTN-based infrastructure when the time comes, without replacing boxes. In addition, the modularity of the 5400 family allows customization for switching solutions based on application requirements, enabling an optimized switching infrastructure with economies of scale.

Unified operating software
Finally, a high-capacity, multiservice network should be easily managed. Automation gets services to market faster and reduces installation costs, and lowers ongoing operational expenses.

Ciena OneOS Service-Aware Operating Software unifies your network, making elements within a product family interoperable and allowing elements across product families to recognize and fully leverage one another.

This network-wide operating software creates a network with rich functionality, intelligent automation, and operational efficiencies—so network operators can continue to expand and meet future demands easily.
