Arelion and Ciena (NYSE: CIEN) today announced the successful
completion of the world's first 1.6 terabits-per-second (Tb/s)
wavelengths data transmission in a live network field trial.
Powered by Ciena’s state-of-the-art WaveLogic 6 Extreme (WL6e),
this milestone occurred on Arelion’s 470km route between its
existing Points-of-Presence (PoPs) in Ashburn, Virginia (Equinix)
and Telxius’ (Telxius-CLS) Virginia Beach cable landing station,
increasing capacity between two critical locations in Arelion’s
North American network. Following this trial, Arelion will deploy
WL6e across its network to increase its ability to serve the
surging bandwidth demands of 5G, Artificial Intelligence/Machine
Learning (AI/ML) applications, cloud services, content delivery and
more for wholesale and enterprise customers.
Ciena’s WL6e leverages coherent digital signal processing (DSP)
innovations to improve energy efficiency and performance, providing
Arelion with a 50% space and power per bit reduction and 15% higher
spectral efficiency compared to previous generations. WL6e will
enable Arelion to deliver multiple 400 / 800 gigabits-per-second
(Gb/s) services optimized using 1.6 Tb/s line capacity, supporting
higher traffic volumes and faster connectivity speeds across its
existing network footprint.
The trial also leveraged Ciena’s open, programmable 6500
Reconfigurable Line System (RLS), a solution designed to simplify
and automate network service provisioning and reconfiguration. The
milestone reinforces Arelion’s early investments in open optical
networking and next-generation coherent optic solutions to improve
performance, energy efficiency and cost savings.
“This new benchmark reflects our ongoing investment in
cutting-edge optical networking technologies that increase capacity
and performance while reducing energy consumption to benefit our
customers,” said Dariusz Solowiej, VP Network Technology &
Customer Operations at Arelion. “Our collaboration with Ciena is
crucial in supporting global enterprises’ capacity needs amid
rising power and colocation costs, helping us provide the reliable
connectivity companies need to transfer massive data volumes at the
fastest speeds available today.”
“This significant milestone with Arelion serves as a template
for service providers striving to improve the energy efficiency and
scalability of their optical networks amid mounting bandwidth
demands,” said Jamie Jefferies, Vice President & General
Manager, International at Ciena. “As the industry’s first 1.6 Tb/s
coherent optic solution, WaveLogic 6 Extreme brings forth new
innovative capabilities for optical transport, with
forward-thinking service providers like Arelion leading the
charge.”
This achievement enhances the performance of Arelion’s leading
optical transmission services, including high-speed Managed Optical
Fiber Services and Wavelengths for service providers, content
providers and enterprises.
Ciena’s WL6e is the industry’s first high-bandwidth coherent
transceiver using state-of-the-art 3nm silicon technology to drive
significant economic benefits for operators, including a 50%
reduction in space and power per bit.
