NEW DELHI: Swedish telecom gear maker Ericsson<\/a> and US-based Ciena<\/a> said they have quadrupled Telstra’s optical network<\/a> service capacity to 400GE (Gigabit per Second Ethernet), from 100GE currently.
Telstra<\/a>’s optical network provides connectivity between Telstra’s IP routers and switches and this deployment will initially be used for Telstra’s internet traffic and broadband connectivity<\/a>, the companies said in a joint statement.
“We’re seeing traffic demands for mobile and fixed growing at over 40 percent and around 25 percent per annum respectively, driven by more people working from home and higher bandwidth requirements,” said Iskra Nikolova, Telstra Executive for Network and Infrastructure.
Data<\/a> will be transmitted over Ciena’s 6500 Packet-Optical Platform using WaveLogic 5 Extreme (WL5E<\/a>), and the upgrade from a 100 GE to a 400 GE interface will improve optical network performance<\/a> and service capacity while reducing power inefficiencies in the optical network, the statement added.
“This milestone achievement will ensure that Telstra’s Next Generation Optical Network has the capabilities to meet existing and future demands from its customers,” said Emilio Romeo, Head of Ericsson Australia and New Zealand.
“Innovative network providers like Telstra are constructing adaptive networks that can not only scale but also dynamically respond to unpredictable traffic requirements,” said Matthew Vesperman, Regional Managing Director for Ciena Australia and New Zealand.
