With the latest in coherent technology, Colt IQ
Network boasts improved scalability, flexibility, and
programmability
Ciena (NYSE: CIEN) announced today that Colt Technology Services
(Colt) is now able to run high-capacity services across long
distances spanning more than 500km using Ciena’s industry-leading
coherent technology.
With Ciena’s 6500 Reconfigurable Line System (RLS), Waveserver 5
compact interconnect platform powered by WaveLogic 5 Extreme (WL5e)
coherent optics, and Manage, Control and Plan (MCP) domain
controller, the upgrade more than doubles Colt’s network
capacity.
“We continue to improve our service offerings on the Colt IQ
Network, enabling us to better respond to the explosive traffic
demands in Japan and drive faster service launches. The Colt IQ
Network is designed to provide high-bandwidth, on-demand
connectivity, and we continue to deliver on this promise by
collaborating with industry pioneer Ciena,” said Masato Hoshino,
Representative Director & President, Head of Asia,Colt
Technology Services Co., Ltd.
With the Ciena 6500 RLS, Colt can simplify deployment,
operation, and troubleshooting with built-in tools like Zero-Touch
Provisioning (ZTP), network auto-discovery, and real-time network
monitoring and visibility. Network adaptability is also enhanced
with automated calibration. Additionally, with RLS’s integrated
L-band amplification and ASE noise loading, the upgrade has no
impact to existing C-band traffic and does not require any visits
or changes to line amplifier sites, enabling stable and
uninterrupted service launches.
“Throughout Japan, there is a growing ask to support the
connectivity needs required to run cloud-based applications and
bandwidth-heavy video content. Designed with programmability,
performance, and scalability in mind, Ciena’s 6500 RLS enables Colt
to deploy C&L-band optimized equipment with no service
interruptions, empowering Colt to bring the digital universe to its
customers faster than ever before despite the distance,” said
Kazuyasu Takahashi, Vice President and General Manager, Ciena
Japan.
This upgrade to the Colt IQ Network follows an earlier
milestone, when Colt, in collaboration with Ciena, became the first
provider to transport 600G wavelength services in a long-haul live
network in Japan.
