Telstra, Ericsson and Ciena, have announced market-leading enhancements to Telstra\u2019s Next Generation Optical Network which will increase the service capacity of Telstra\u2019s optical network to 400 GE (Gigabit per Second Ethernet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Telstra\u2019s optical network provides connectivity between Telstra\u2019s IP routers and switches and this deployment will initially be used for Telstra\u2019s Internet traffic and broadband connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re seeing traffic demands for mobile and fixed growing at over 40% and around 25% per annum respectively, driven by more people working from home and higher bandwidth requirements,\u201d said Iskra Nikolova, Telstra Executive for Network and Infrastructure. \u201cThis is due to the rising demands of video streaming and online gaming, as well as increased requirements for cloud and data center connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIncreasing the ability to interface into Telstra\u2019s Next Generation Optical Network will allow us to scale more efficiently and provide an enhanced experience for our mobile, fixed broadband, enterprise and wholesale customers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Transmitted over Ciena\u2019s 6500 Packet-Optical Platform using its latest optical modem technology WaveLogic 5 Extreme (WL5E), the upgrade from a 100 GE to a 400 GE interface will improve optical network performance and service capacity while reducing power inefficiencies in the optical network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, the 400 GE interface has the same physical footprint as its 100 GE counterparts, providing a sustainable upgrade path without compromising on any physical restrictions. It also provides four times the service capacity while reducing power consumption of the optical network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis milestone achievement will ensure that Telstra\u2019s Next Generation Optical Network has the capabilities to meet existing and future demands from its customers,\u201d said Emilio Romeo, Head of Ericsson Australia and New Zealand. \u201cHere at Ericsson, we are proud to work with Telstra and Ciena in providing network services that will benefit all Australians.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cInnovative network providers like Telstra are constructing adaptive networks that can not only scale but also dynamically respond to unpredictable traffic requirements,\u201d said Matthew Vesperman, Regional Managing Director for Ciena Australia and New Zealand. Ciena\u2019s 6500 platform powered by WaveLogic optics combines the required capabilities and software intelligence, providing optical network efficiencies while optimizing its footprint, power and capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
