Ciena highlights a path to better broadband at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo 2024

Ciena will showcase its fiber access, optical transformation, and network automation innovations at SCTE Cable-Tec Expo, happening September 24–26 in Atlanta, Georgia. Through immersive technology demos and insightful speaking sessions, event attendees can learn how Ciena’s broadband solutions empower cable MSOs with greater flexibility in building and evolving converged interconnect networks (CINs).

Broadband Demonstrations (Ciena booth #1813):

• Building a Flexible Last-Mile Network: Revealing how cable operators can deliver flexible, scalable, and sustainable broadband services anywhere using Ciena’s XGS-PON pluggable optical line terminals (micro-OLTs), optical network units (ONUs), and access routers.
• Optical Network Transformation: Showcasing 3nm-based coherent optical advancements, including the industry’s first 1.6 Tb/s technology with WaveLogic 6 Extreme (WL6e), as well as footprint-optimized, low-power 100G-400G pluggables with WaveLogic 5 Nano (WL5n); also featuring O-NID space- and energy-efficient demarcation solutions that extend OTN to the network edge.
• Simplified Multi-layer Network Operations With Navigator Network Control Suite: Showing one point of control for visibility, management, and optimization of IP over optical infrastructure and connectivity services.
• Intelligent Fiber Broadband Automation With Blue Planet: Demonstrating modular applications for streamlining and automating end-to-end planning, delivery, and assurance of broadband services in multi-vendor environments.
• Ciena Services for Broadband Access: Illustrating how cable MSOs can accelerate time to market while reducing risk with robust end-to-end services to design, build, market, and support broadband networks.
• Ciena Virtual Executive Briefing Center (vEBC): Presenting 3D tours of Ciena’s broadband solutions.
