Case Study: Summit Broadband expands Florida network with Ciena Adaptive IP

Summit Broadband Expands Network Across Florida with Ciena’s Adaptive IP

Summit Broadband, an Orlando-based fiber-optics telecommunications provider, needed to expand network capacity and flexibility to keep up with rising data demand and deliver reliable, high-speed connectivity across Florida. To meet this challenge, Summit Broadband turned to Ciena’s Adaptive IP approach, alongside Ciena coherent optics and routing/switching platforms, to support growing needs from customers such as school districts and municipalities.

Ciena implemented WaveLogic Ai coherent optics across a flexible 6500 ROADM network, delivering 400GbE wave services to increase capacity and extend reach. Summit Broadband also deployed Ciena’s 3926 and 5164 Routing and Switching platforms, plus Adaptive IP Apps and MCP for real-time visibility and network optimization, resulting in faster issue resolution, lower latency services, and an enhanced digital experience across Central, West, and Southwest Florida.
