Is Your Metro Network Ready?

The metro network is in the center of the user experience, connecting people to content, supporting demand that’s gone from SD to HD, 4K, and 8K, and from 1GbE to 10GbE and 100GbE. Equipment that facilitates that transition is critical. Ciena’s 8700 Packetwave^® Platform delivers the best of metro and the best of the data center for a more efficient, cost-effective network.
