TDC NET and Ciena Upgrade Optical Transmission Network to 800G

Danish digital infrastructure provider TDC NET will deploy Ciena’s converged packet optical solution, upgrading its metropolitan and long-distance networks with 800G technology. Network upgrades will enable TDC NET to continuously launch new advanced services, supporting its net zero emissions target by reducing power consumption compared to existing DWDM platforms.
TDC NET will deploy a modern OTN network based on the Ciena 6500 series packet optical platform, supported by WaveLogic 5 Extreme programmable 800G technology and WaveLogic 5 Nano 100G-400G coherent pluggable transceivers. Ciena’s solution portfolio will help TDC NET expand its network to meet future needs, and its technology roadmap can support long-term higher capacity demands.

TDC NET Chief Business Officer Robert Dogonowski said, “By upgrading our network with Ciena, we can provide our customers with a full range of modern digital services both domestically and internationally. We hope to have a supplier who can support our network transformation without interruption of service and allow us to continue controlling customer experience. Throughout the process, the Ciena team has been working together, and we are excited about what Ciena’s technology can do for our network.”
Anders Grand, Senior Director and General Manager of Ciena, added, “Leading service providers like TDC NET know the importance of continuously expanding their networks. With Ciena’s WaveLogic technology, TDC NET can provide its customers with 800Gb/s connectivity while significantly saving power usage to achieve its climate goals.”
