It’s a web-scale world. On-demand content, bandwidth-hungry mobile apps, high-definition video streaming, and new cloud-based IT applications are driving massive scale and unpredictable traffic patterns. Network capacities are increasing by 25 to 50 percent every year, and systems running at 10 Gb/s just cannot keep up with this kind of rapid scalability.

On this episode of the Ciena Insights Podcast, Jarrod Nink, Chief Operating Officer at Vocus offers an insider's perspective to how the Australian network provider is capitalizing on this surging demand for bandwidth.

Ciena pioneered coherent optics in 2008 and continues to push technology boundaries with its WaveLogic family of coherent technology platforms. The foundation of hundreds of networks today, WaveLogic 3 solutions enable higher fiber capacities via 150G and 200G wavelengths that fit within standard 50GHz spacing—effectively increasing line capacity and spectral efficiency up to a factor of two times. Recently announced, WaveLogic Ai delivers unprecedented levels of automation and intelligence to operators providing access to real-time link monitoring, and capacity tunability from 100G to 400G in 50G increments. WaveLogic Ai also builds on the best-in-class performance of its predecessor and delivers twice the capacity per channel with single-carrier 400G, three times the distance at equivalent capacity, and four times the service density, all at less than half the power.

High-bandwidth web-scale applications are a challenge and an opportunity for network providers. Solutions for coherent optics, like those from Ciena, provide new levels of automation, intelligence, and scale that help providers meet or exceed their business goals in the new web-scale world.

How to pronouncecoherent

Coherent optical technology forms the foundation of the industry’s drive to achieve transport speeds of 100G and beyond, delivering Terabits of information across a single fiber pair. Digital signal processors electronically compensate for Chromatic and Polarization Mode Dispersion (CD and PMD) to enable robust performance over old and new fibers alike, and eliminate the need for dispersion-sloped compensating modules from the photonic line. Coherent optics enables greater network flexibility and programmability by supporting different baud rates and modulation formats. This results in greater flexibility in line rates, with scalability from 100G to 400G and beyond per single signal carrier, delivering increased data throughput at a lower cost per bit.

CoherentCareers

Coherent optics solves the capacity problems network providers are facing. It takes the typical ones and zeroes in a digital signal—the blinking on and off of the light in the fiber—and uses sophisticated technology to modulate the amplitude and phase of that light and send the signal across each of two polarizations. This, in turn, imparts considerably more information onto the light speeding through a fiber optic cable.
