Own the edge

Build it once.
Sell it three times.

Unlock revenue potential and maximize your opportunities

Ever-increasing bandwidth demands have made access network upgrades an urgent priority. But how can you upgrade while also containing costs, maximizing efficiency, and unlocking future revenue streams? The answer is to use a single, highly efficient architecture that can deliver multiple services simultaneously.

Ciena’s Universal Aggregation (UA) solution introduces a new PON architecture by aggregating and delivering traffic across residential broadband, business Ethernet, and mobile networks (4G/5G) on a single platform. This single access architecture, in effect, enables you to build once and sell services three times.
