The 5400 Family is optimized for cost-effective, next-generation bandwidth management, enabling efficient aggregation, grooming, and forwarding of multiple traffic types. Both the 5410 and 5430 systems employ Ciena’s intelligent control plane—shared with the 6500 Family—to automate labor-intensive operations including planning, provisioning, and topology and inventory management. The 5400 Family enables the highest availability networks—measured in the field at over six-9s—for mission-critical services.
