Converged interconnect networks (CIN)
Evolve your network and sharpen your competitive edge
Delivery performance, reliability, and quality of experience in a cost-efficient converged interconnect network
The challenge
With users requiring more bandwidth, lower latency, and higher availability from their broadband services, Cable MSOs must evolve their CIN to support next-gen hybrid fiber copper (HFC) technologies, while supporting 10G everywhere.
Our approach
Ciena provides a futureproof, sustainable CIN solution to support cable MSO’s network evolution. We enable your distributed access architecture (DAA) strategy while supporting the adoption of fiber-based access technologies in a CIN infrastructure.
The benefits
Achieve your vision of 10G everywhere, streamline operations, expand addressable markets, and meet customer expectations for quality services. Start small and grow with demand, building a high-capacity, affordable, automated broadband network that scales dynamically.
Our CIN technology and services
Routers
We offer a full suite of open and programmable next-gen universal aggregation and coherent routers for network access, aggregation, and core.
XGS-PON pluggable and ONUs
Our pluggable, symmetrical 10G-PON OLT module works with our routing and switching platforms to enable broadband services. The compact form-factor reduces edge transport, costs, footprint, and power consumption.
WaveLogic™ Photonics
Our interoperable and high-performance pluggables deliver coherent optical solutions that reduce complexity and cost while offering the longest reach without regeneration, embedded instrumentation, and programmability.
Photonic line systems
Our open, disaggregated line systems—from simple point-to-point to fully configurable ROADM— include embedded intelligence for automated networks.
Navigator Network Control SuiteTM (NCS)
Navigator NCS provides a single point of control to visualize and optimize multi-layer, multi-vendor network operations—reducing costs and improving customer satisfaction.
Ciena Services
We leverage decades of expertise and innovation to help you build, operate, and improve your network and achieve your business objectives.
