Cirion Technologies is planning to deploy a suite of Ciena solutions, including WaveLogic 6 Extreme (WL6e) – the industry’s first 1.6 Tb/s coherent optical technology.
This upgrade will boost Cirion’s network capacity across its expansive terrestrial and submarine networks and includes what is expected to be the first 1.6 Tb/s single carrier wavelength deployments in Latin America.
With over 160 interconnected data centers in more than 60 cities across Latin America, Cirion will leverage Ciena’s WL6e to link key data centers throughout the region, enabling high-capacity, low-latency connectivity that is essential for customers to utilize bandwidth-intensive applications, such as artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and streaming services.
“Following our successful deployment of WaveLogic 5, it has become evident that further upgrading our network with WaveLogic 6 is a critical next step,” said Alejandro Girardotti, Senior Director, Product, Innovation and Strategic Alliances, Cirion Technologies. “Ciena’s solutions will enable us to cater to our customers’ evolving needs effectively and adapt seamlessly to the rapid adoption of cloud, AI demands, and other emerging technologies, while maximizing network efficiency and sustainability.”
Gustavo Castello, Director of Strategic International Accounts, Ciena, said: “With Ciena’s coherent optical technology, Cirion is strengthening its ability to drive greater network efficiencies and supporting its commitment to deploying greener, more scalable infrastructures, and paving the way for a more sustainable digital future.”
