Reliance Globalcom and Ciena Corporation have upgraded Reliance
Globalcom’s FA-1 North submarine cable system with 100G wavelengths.
With Ciena’s converged
packet optical and GeoMesh solutions,
Reliance Globalcom can now deliver high-speed, low latency OTN and
100GbE client services between London and New York with greater capacity
to meet soaring bandwidth demand. With an initial total lit capacity of
400Gbs, this upgrade compliments Reliance Globalcom’s deployment of
Ciena’s GeoMesh technology on its FA-1 South submarine network that
links New York to Paris, allowing the provider to offer additional
capacity on two diverse routes across the Atlantic.
·
Reliance Globalcom owns and operates one of
the world’s largest and most advanced private submarine networks
spanning more than 73,000 kilometers. When combined with more than
200,000 kilometers of domestic fiber owned by its
parent company, Reliance Communications, the global network connects
more than 40 key business markets across India, the Middle East, Asia,
Europe, and the United States
·
With Ciena’s GeoMesh solution, built on its market-leading 6500 Packet-Optical
Platformpowered by WaveLogic coherent optical processors,
Reliance Globalcom can
now support trans-Atlantic OTN-based client services from 10Gb/s to
100Gb/s across its FA-1 North network link. Additionally, under Reliance
Globalcom’s recently launched Optical Wave Service, 100GbE/OTU-4
services can also be provided between continental
points of presence (PoPs) in London and New York, where large Internet,
financial and data center hubs reside.
·
This deployment is based on Ciena’s OPn architecture
approach for creating programmable network infrastructures that deliver
much lower cost-at-scale and allow network operators to better monetize
their networks. Ciena’s GeoMesh features a simplified all-optical
design that brings flexibility to Reliance Globalcom’s
submarine network architecture.
·
Additionally, this network leverages the
programmability of Ciena’s WaveLogic technology to meet differentiated
service and latency requirements, carrying traditional SDH/DWDM as well
as OTN-based applications over the same platform.
·
Ciena’s OneControl Unified Management System is
also providing Reliance Globalcom with multi-layer service management
capabilities to enable streamlined service activation, fault management
and performance monitoring. Ciena is also providing installation,
consulting, test and turn-up services via its Specialist
Services portfolio.
