Global networking company Ciena has launched what it says is the next-generaton optical and software technologies that empower network operators to tune, control and dynamically adjust optical capacity in an on-demand world where IoT, 5G, content delivery and cloud are rapidly redefining network requirements.

Ericsson and Telstra claim they have successfully demonstrated the ability to encrypt data securely while in transit between Los Angeles and Melbourne at 10Gbps, using Ciena’s ultra-low latency 10G wire-speed encryption solution.

Network strategy and technology company Ciena has unveiled WaveLogic Ai, its fully programmable coherent modem that the company says delivers maximum network performance at minimum cost.
