Chalk Talk - WaveRouter, Ciena’s purpose-built coherent metro router

Meet Ciena’s purpose-built coherent metro router and hear how our simple, scalable, and sustainable WaveRouter takes and improves on the best of chassis, leaf/Spine, and Distributed Disaggregated Chassis (DDC) architectures while adding IP/Optical convergence (aka Ciena’s Coherent Routing) to scale up and out from 6 Tb/s to 192Tb/s. Metro routing done differently – because you asked!
