Explore how Ciena delivers a modern approach to C37.94 teleprotection over packet-based networks using a flexible, pluggable architecture built on Ciena’s environmentally hardened routers. A C37.94 pluggable can be deployed in any 1GbE port on Ciena routers, while other ports simultaneously support additional services. This eliminates the need for external multiplexers or chassis-based line cards, reducing footprint, power consumption, and operational complexity. The solution enables low-latency transport of time-critical protection signals across IP/MPLS networks, ensuring reliable grid operation. With active-active hitless protection, precise synchronization, and strong resiliency, Ciena provides a scalable, space- and power-efficient platform for modernizing utility communications.
