This upgrade will help GBI meet the demanding Internet traffic requirements between the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) countries, Europe and India. This will also help prepare the region for major upcoming sporting events \u2013 including the world\u2019s largest football competition \u2013 in Qatar and the wider region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surges in video streaming, cloud computing and 5G have driven bandwidth demand and the need for submarine and terrestrial network upgrades globally. GBI\u2019s upgrade with Ciena uses the latest technologies to increase design capacity by 10 Tb\/s, enhance its capabilities and provide increased flexibility in delivery times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCiena\u2019s WaveLogic 5 Extreme coherent optical technology will allow us to maximise the use of our fibre assets, ensuring a great quality of service for our customers,\u201d said Cengiz Oztelcan, Chief Executive Officer, GBI. \u201cWe are excited to continue to expand our relationship with Ciena. GBI can now add significant capacity and intelligence to the network to meet requirements from customers including Internet Content Providers (ICPs).\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCiena\u2019s WaveLogic technology and software will help GBI create a network that can adapt, self-optimise and scale to meet customer demands,\u201d said Jamie Jefferies, Vice President and General Manager, International, Ciena. \u201cWe understand the importance for GBI to have a programmable and reliable submarine network \u2013 especially as the region will soon be hosting the world\u2019s biggest football tournament, which is expected to drive a great deal of video traffic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GBI will leverage Ciena\u2019s WaveLogic 5 Extreme (WL5e) to optimise its design capacity and help significantly reduce the cost per bit. Additionally, the embedded software intelligence in WL5e gives GBI the ability to dynamically fine tune capacity to meet changing network demands. Ciena\u2019s Manage, Control and Plan (MCP) domain controller will provide software control and automation to accelerate network operations. With this network upgrade, GBI intends to provide the best possible digital experiences to its partners, customers and end-users alike.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of GBI\u2019s infrastructure evolution, Ciena has increased GBI\u2019s Smart Network lit capacity by 10 Tb\/s.
