Case Study: Leading Tier 1 Carrier achieves faster 100G optical service delivery and higher ROI with Ciena

Leading Tier 1 Carrier Brings Industry-leading 10G-to-100G Optical Services to Market Faster and Maximizes ROI with Connectivity Enablement

Leading Tier 1 Carrier Company worked with Ciena to overcome the limitations of its legacy metro and long-haul networks, which made it difficult and costly to deliver 10G and 100G optical services across a large geographic footprint. The carrier needed a more scalable, lower-cost infrastructure and better internal readiness across sales, pre-sales, marketing, and operations to compete more effectively and bring new services to market.

Ciena designed and deployed a new terabit-capable optical architecture that supports seamless end-to-end traffic delivery and scalable 10G-to-100G services, while also providing extensive connectivity enablement training and go-to-market support. As a result, the carrier reduced delivery costs, accelerated time to market, and improved its ability to generate and convert a healthy sales funnel, strengthening its competitiveness and ROI in high-speed connectivity services.
