Increasing Network Scale with New Coherent Options

High growth in network bandwidth—along with the need for higher-capacity, low-latency connectivity at the network edge—is driving the need for the next generation of coherent transceivers that offer the benefits of coherent technology within pluggable form factors. With industry-leading innovation, Ciena is extending the addressable applications for footprint-optimized coherent solutions with a family of WaveLogic™ 5 Nano (WL5n) 100G–400G pluggables.

WL5n standards-based and extended-reach pluggable transceivers incorporate Ciena’s advanced optical Transceiver-on-Chip (ToC) technology along with unmatched coherent DSP expertise to deliver 100G-400G interconnect technology for next-generation access, metro-regional, and Data Center Interconnect (DCI) network applications.
