Cirion has launched the initial phase of its Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) offering across Latin America in partnership with Ciena and Carma, introducing an on-demand enterprise connectivity platform designed for artificial intelligence and cloud-driven environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The service leverages Cirion\u2019s infrastructure across more than 20 countries and more than 105,000 kilometers of fiber optic infrastructure, enabling enterprises to activate, adjust and scale services through a cloud-like consumption model. The deployment initially covers part of Cirion\u2019s regional network and carrier-neutral data centre ecosystem, with expansion planned across additional coverage areas and services in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Powered by Ciena\u2019s optical networking technology and coordinated through Carma\u2019s digital infrastructure platform, the solution allows enterprises to provision and manage high-capacity connectivity services through a web-based customer portal. The platform delivers programmable optical connectivity with near real-time provisioning, monitoring and service management capabilities designed for rapidly changing enterprise requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first deployment phase focuses on automated data centre connectivity, allowing customers to order, configure and activate services directly through the Cirion portal. According to the company, the platform reduces service delivery times from days or weeks to near real-time, helping enterprises respond faster to changing workload requirements and business demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The solution integrates with customers\u2019 existing network and security infrastructure without requiring hardware replacement or policy changes. Cirion said the platform includes self-service capabilities, operational visibility and dynamic bandwidth management aligned with cloud consumption models and Digital Transformation initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith Ciena\u2019s optical technology, routing and switching products, and automation software, Cirion is turning its network into a programmable platform – connectivity that can be activated and scaled like a cloud service, not a traditional engineering project,\u201d said Fernando Capella, Regional Director for CALA South, Ciena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As part of the deployment, Carma integrated API-based interfaces between Cirion\u2019s service platform and Ciena\u2019s Navigator Network Control Suite to automate wavelength service provisioning across Cirion\u2019s fiber and subsea infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The solution combines Ciena\u2019s Waveserver and 6500 Reconfigurable Line System platforms, 8110 and 8114 Coherent Aggregation Routers and Navigator Network Control Suite with an OSS\/BSS orchestration layer supporting billing, service management and customer experience functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCirion is committed to delivering a highly efficient, automated digital experience for our customers,\u201d said Paul Choiseul, Chief Technology and Information Officer, Cirion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cirion said the platform is designed to support hyperscalers, cloud providers and enterprises seeking flexible connectivity models for AI workloads, hybrid cloud environments and emerging Agentic AI applications across Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company cited projections showing the Latin American cloud market growing from US$63 billion in 2025 to US$125 billion by 2030, increasing demand for agile and automated network services supporting real-time enterprise operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cirion said the NaaS platform has been designed to provide enterprises with greater flexibility, scalability and visibility across regional connectivity operations while reducing dependence on manual provisioning processes. The company added that automated, cloud-style networking models are becoming increasingly important as organizations expand artificial intelligence deployments, move workloads between data centres and seek faster access to digital infrastructure services supporting high-capacity applications, real-time analytics and customer demand throughout Latin America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
