Ciena is a networking systems, services, and software company. We're driven by a relentless pursuit of network innovation—enabling our customers to adapt within ever-changing environments to deliver richer, more connected experiences for their business and users.
We believe in a network that grows smarter, more agile, and more responsive every day. We call it The Adaptive Network™. It enables you to optimize infrastructure while incorporating new technologies and ways of working with openness, scalability, and security.
User demands are skyrocketing and legacy systems are incapable of keeping up. Networks and businesses require transformational change. Our solutions enable our customers to handle today’s complexity and tomorrow’s unexpected challenges.
Ciena’s story began more than a quarter of a century ago, when we revolutionized the economics of telecommunications networks. We’ve been first-to-market with more than a dozen key technologies. Today, we continue to redefine networking.
We provide consistent value to our shareholders by strategically balancing our investments in leading innovation with our commitment transforming our customers' networks for the digital age.
Through our commitment to diversity and inclusion, community engagement, wellbeing initiatives, and corporate responsibility, we empower our people to improve their lives and lift those around them.
