3926m

Service Delivery Platform

Ciena’s 3926m Service Delivery Platform allows the creation of value-added business or mobile backhaul services that combine connectivity with in-demand Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), as well as support for legacy TDM services. The 3926m can address today’s most challenging network scenarios, providing flexibility and future-proof attributes that de-risk business decisions while allowing for fast time to market.

Why 3926m?

Unmatched flexibility

The 3926m provides unmatched flexibility to address multiple applications, business models, and deployment environments without sacrificing service capabilities or quality of service. The platform supports interworking between multiple transport options via a flexible and scalable switching architecture, leading to complete service ingenuity and optimal utilization of network resources.

Secure zero-touch provisioning

Ciena’s zero-touch provisioning simplifies system turn-up and enables device deployment, service turn-up, and Service Level Agreement (SLA) performance testing to be run from the network operations center. This efficiency can significantly lower OPEX, eliminating the need for on-site personnel or adjunct test equipment and ensuring consistent, reproducible test reports made available to the end-user. Operators can ramp service roll-outs faster, and at lower cost.
