Ciena builds world's largest photonic control

 

 

Airtel's new backbone Ciena networks meet exploding demand for high-speed data services. Additionally, it optimally utilizes available fiber resources to deliver ultra-fast broadband experiences on 4G/5G/FTTH architectures. The deployment is part of Airtel's Project Leap network transformation program, which also enables the network to quickly respond to simultaneous failures by recalculating and rerouting traffic based on available network resources. 

Airtel's new backbone architecture creates a solid foundation that can operate seamlessly at data rates of 400 Gbps and above across technology generations, creating a future-proof, scalable network. Additionally, this architecture enables low latency and software-driven connectivity for cloud infrastructure, rapid migration to virtualized platforms, and 5G readiness, which is essential for a world of connected devices and things.

Bharti Airtel Chief Technology Officer Randeep Sehon said: We are excited to be working with Ciena to build his network of one of the largest optical spines and leaves in the world. This is also a major step toward 5G readiness by leveraging our vast fiber optic resources. This not only increases network capacity, but also secures traffic and improves service delivery to all customers. Additionally, the combination of

Photonics and advanced software intelligence enables an intelligent, agile network that simplifies end-to-end deployment. ” speed and the ability to handle multiple fiber failures, providing users with extremely high capacity and uninterrupted service. The network also supports on-demand bandwidth, optical VPN, delay-based routing, and dynamic data center interconnect, offering a unique value proposition to Airtel's residential and business customers.
