Ciena

Ultra-high definition video streaming, the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented/Virtual Reality (AR/VR), and mobile gaming are just some of the omnipresent applications in our daily lives that change how we conduct business, interact, and simply have fun. Networks must evolve to support these applications—they must be able to adapt.

From Adaptive IP™ to our leading WaveLogic™ 5 Nano coherent pluggables, Ciena’s packet networking solutions allow network operators to cost-effectively modernize their network assets by taking advantage of technologies like Network Functions Virtualization (NFV), Segment Routing, and edge computing to efficiently support existing business opportunities while preparing for new and emerging ones.

IP delivered differently.

Ciena’s Adaptive IP is a unique solution that combines our market-leading packet networking portfolio with machine-learning-powered analytics and intelligent automation software to improve flexibility, scalability, and time-to-revenue—providing a more future-proof IP network architecture, from access to metro.
