Ciena’s 40G solutions to support GlobalNet Metro Optical Network upgrade

Aug 19, 2011

Ciena’s 40G solution, 4200 Advanced Services Platform will be deployed in GlobalNet’s metro optical network upgrade. A press release from Ciena Corporaion says the Russian carrier will use Ciena’s newly developed architecture that includes 40g technology and WaveLogicTM coherent optical processors.

GlobalNet offers connectivity services to enterprises in high bandwidth sectors, including content delivery, media and storage. Based in St. Petersburg, the operator serves West Russia with a privately-owned optical network of more than 7,000 km. Its long-haul coherent 40G network is based on Ciena’s 6500 Packet-Optical Platform, a highly scalable architecture that includes Ciena’s WaveLogic coherent optical processors. These benefits are now being extended to the metro network using Ciena’s 4200 platform, providing additional capacity and flexibility to GlobalNet’s enterprise connectivity offerings.

GlobalNet is headquartered in St. Petersburg, Russia. GlobalNet is a dynamic telecommunications carrier offering telecommunications services to Russian businesses since 2008. GlobalNet is primarily focused on leasing data transmission and fiber optic lines with various capacities to large operators, ISPs and enterprise customers. GlobalNet expands to new regions every year and currently has offices in many major cities worldwide including New York, London, Paris, Moscow, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Stockholm, Helsinki and St. Petersburg. GlobalNet operates some 7000 km of backbone lines and owns a 350 km fiber optic network in St. Petersburg. A strong expert team and state-of-the-art technologies help GlobalNet ensure high availability and quality of its telecommunications services.

With the advent of media-rich content and cloud-based services, there is a growing demand for available bandwidth from companies in the St. Petersburg area, which is only going to increase in years to come. This represents a great opportunity for GlobalNet. Ciena’s coherent technology enables GlobalNet to protect past investments and transmit four times as much information as across existing 10G networks.

By upgrading its metro network to support a total capacity of 1 terabit per second (1Tb/s), GlobalNet can meet the growing bandwidth needs of its customers and support the requirements of mission-critical applications.

Russian enterprises rely on GlobalNet to offer them reliable connectivity as and when they need it. Ciena’s optical network architecture enables GlobalNet to scale and meet their growing capacity needs in a simple and cost-efficient manner, empowering these ambitious companies to better compete in today’s dynamic market environment.

Ciena’s 4200 Advanced Services Platform is a multiservice aggregation and transport platform that can support a wide range of services (including Ethernet, SONET/SDH, storage and video), meeting all business application transport requirements over a single network with carrier-grade reliability. The inclusion of WaveLogic processors enables the platform to provide cost-effective ways to mitigate optical impairments, take advantage of existing fibre plants and scale network capacity quickly and easily.

Ciena is the network specialist. Ciena collaborate with global customers to unlock the strategic potential of their networks and fundamentally change the way they perform and compete. With focused innovation, Ciena brings together the reliability and capacity of optical networking with the flexibility and economics of Ethernet, unified by a software suite that delivers the industry’s leading network automation.

Fiber Optics is Green!

Developed in the 1970s communication systems using optical fibers has revolutionized the telecommunications industry and have been played a leading role in the formation of New Technical Age. Fiber Optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber.

Fiber optics is the leading technology in the field of communication. Fiber has reached to the home finally by realizing the expectations for an unlimited bandwidth. Optical fibers still have unutilized potential for digital transmission. Learn fiber optics will give an edge and keep us updated with the technology. Watching demos, videos and reading more from internet is the cost effective option to learn about Optical fiber technology.
The fiber optic technology uses the light which forms an electromagnetic carrier wave. This will be modulated to carry information.. Optical fibers have clear advantages over other electrical transmission mediums. Optical fibers have largely replaced copper wire communications in core networks in the developed world and have been making inroads to the developing countries as well.

The communication process using fiber optics involves the following steps: Creation of the optical signal using a transmitter, relaying the signal along the Optical fiber, make sure that the optical signals do not get weakened, receiving the optical signal, and converting it into an electrical signal.Optical fibers are eco-friendly and Fiber optic technology is Green!
