Brings faster speeds, more capacity, and
greater service reliability to the Baltic region
Telia Lithuania, a Telia Company subsidiary and leading supplier
of telecom services, is leveraging Ciena's (NYSE: CIEN) WaveLogic 5
Extreme (WL5e) coherent optics to upgrade its countrywide network
to support 400G and higher services and deploy the first 800Gb/s
wavelength service between major cities in Lithuania.
With this deployment, Telia Lithuania can deliver more flexible,
higher-capacity, and cost-effective transport services with the
resiliency and power efficiency required by 5G, Internet of Things
(IoT), and other bandwidth-intensive applications.
“Our mission is to be the most innovative operator in the
Baltics—not just for 5G, but also transmission,” said Andrius
Šemeškevičius, Head of Technology at Telia Lithuania. “We chose to
work with Ciena because innovation is in their DNA, too. Ciena’s
industry-leading optical technology allows us to reliably and
efficiently meet our customers’ varied transport
requirements—whether for access, metro, long haul, or enterprise
data center interconnect.”
Virginie Hollebecque, Vice President of EMEA at Ciena,
commented: “Network resiliency is of great importance for all
networks in the Baltic region, considering the region’s heavy
reliance on digital technologies. With an optical solution from
Ciena, Telia Lithuania has a resilient network foundation that can
instantly bounce back from any disruptions, minimizing downtime,
ensuring service continuity, and safeguarding its communication
infrastructure.”
Telia Lithuania’s new network will also utilize additional Ciena
optical and network management solutions that make possible:
- Increased capacity, network reach, and power efficiency
with the 6500 packet-optical platform powered by WL5e and WaveLogic
Ai programmable coherent optics
- Faster wavelength restoration with the 6500’s flexible
photonics and intelligent Layer 0 control plane
- Quicker issue resolution and improved timing
distribution for applications requiring highly reliable
synchronization
- Simpler service deployment and network operations with
Navigator Network Control Suite (Navigator NCS)
