Open architecture provides high-speed connectivity in Poland and to hubs in neighboring countries

, a leading telecommunications network operator in Poland, has selected Ciena’s (NYSE: CIEN) WaveLogic 5 Nano (WL5n) 400G ZR+ coherent pluggable transceivers to support its multi-vendor, software-defined networking (SDN) infrastructure—the first open, disaggregated architecture of its kind in the country.

With this upgrade, EXATEL’s customers—which include businesses, government agencies, financial institutions, enterprises, and service providers, among others—will benefit from more robust, higher-capacity, and ultra-low-power 400G connectivity.

Key Facts:

  • With one of the largest fiber-optic networks in the country, at 23,800km, EXATEL directly connects Poland to telecommunications hubs in London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Kiev, Stockholm, Prague, Milan, Vienna, Marseille, and Paris, linking onward to interconnection points abroad.
  • EXATEL is deploying Ciena’s WL5n pluggables across multiple router vendors over an open photonic line system. Through this open, converged IP/optical solution, EXATEL gains cost, power, space, and operational efficiencies.
  • Incorporating Ciena’s advanced coherent optical technology, WL5n provides industry-leading pluggable performance for footprint-optimized 100G–400G interconnect for access, metro-regional, and data center interconnect (DCI) applications. WL5n’s support of interoperable 100G–400G modes, robust performance, and less than 20-watt-per-plug power consumption mean EXATEL can be assured of reliable, sustainable network performance.
