Case Study: Leading UK Carrier Provider Launches 40G and 100G Services in Six Months with Ciena

Tier 1 Carrier Brings New 40G And 100G Services To Market In Just Six Months With Ciena

Leading UK Carrier Provider needed to launch new 40G and 100G connectivity services quickly and with minimal business risk, while avoiding its slow in-house New Product Introduction process. The carrier also required a secure, CAS(T)-certified solution that could support military and government customers and meet a 15-day order-to-service SLA.

Ciena provided an end-to-end white label service, including consultancy, network deployment, commissioning, remote NOC monitoring, and ongoing maintenance and support. With Ciena, the carrier reduced time to market from an estimated 24 months to just six months, generated millions in additional revenue, minimized impact on internal teams, and improved cashflow with a spend-as-you-sell model.
