Ciena’s Service-Aware Operating System (SAOS) is employed in our Packet Networking and Converged Packet Optical platforms to provide a common set of advanced Ethernet features, improving operational efficiency from edge to core with consistent system and service attributes. Our system incorporates a complete Operations, Administration, and Maintenance (OAM) suite to support the network and service performance monitoring requirements of large-scale Ethernet deployments, while reducing network operating costs. It also enables network operators to create and manage scalable service offerings that leverage the cost-effectiveness of Ethernet technology—generating maximum revenue.

These cost-effective and compact platforms are available with a range of physical ports of up to 10GbE. They’re purpose-built to fit numerous small, medium, and large customer sites as well as multi-tenant office and residential buildings, supporting TDM, Ethernet, MPLS, IP, and virtual network services. Mounting options include rack, wall, pole or strand, with appropriate enclosures and temperature ranges to solve your unique challenges.
These platforms provide efficient aggregation to cost-effectively fill higher capacity links within both the metro access and aggregation tiers. With Ethernet, MPLS, IP, and Segment Routing capabilities, they simplify network evolution and support new and emerging services. In addition, the 5000 family along offers state-of-the-art OAM and QoS capabilities, which eliminate significant operational complexity and cost and can be deployed in a wide variety of locations.
Ciena’s 6500 PTS addresses the growing need to maintain the profitable delivery of legacy TDM services while future-proofing investments toward an all-packet network modernization.
To this day, network providers continue to add to their Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) infrastructure—an investment that is getting more expensive to run and operate. Clearly doing more of the same only increases operational expenses due to expensive spares and higher maintenance, hard-to-find legacy skill sets, and manual operations.

Ciena’s family of pluggable transceivers allow for a flexible, pay-as-you-grow deployment model when adding specific functions to products within our Packet Networking portfolio. For example, WaveLogic 5 Nano 100G/200G CFP2-DCO pluggable optics enable a highly flexible coherent transmission in a compact, pluggable form.
Traditional TDM services can be mapped onto a packet-based infrastructure, benefiting from its low cost-point while still maintaining the stringent timing and resilience required by the service. The end result? New and renewed revenue streams.
Ciena’s Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure (NFVI) is purpose-built for the Distributed NFV (D-NFV) use case. Now service providers can rapidly capture new revenue by rolling out virtualized network services to enterprises at the speed of cloud. It includes software-based routing, SD-WAN, encryption, virtual edge, WAN optimization, and more. Deploy a complete D-NFV solution in an instant. Leverage openness. Discover best-of-breed. Explore an open ecosystem to deliver D-NFV services.
