Case Study: Leading Carrier International Network modernizes to deliver capacity on demand with Ciena

Leading Carrier International Network - Customer Case Study

Leading Carrier International Network, a Tier 1 carrier in Europe, worked with Ciena to modernize its aging international network. The carrier needed to increase capacity for bandwidth-hungry services, reduce high OPEX from legacy infrastructure and third-party hosting, and speed up the launch of new services without disrupting existing SDH traffic.

Ciena delivered a far-reaching network modernization using its services methodology and the 6500 Packet-Optical Platform, replacing sprawling legacy systems with a programmable Ethernet aggregation network. The result was higher on-demand capacity, simplified management, major savings in real estate, power, cooling, and operating costs, and a dramatic reduction in service provisioning time from months to just minutes.
