Boldyn and Ciena have partnered to provide advanced network enhancement capabilities through Ciena’s WaveLogic 6 coherent optical technology, enabling operators, enterprises, and hyperscale businesses to achieve reliable and high-speed connections between data centers.
Boldyn Networks (Boldyn) is one of the world’s largest providers of shared network infrastructure. Boldyn announced the deployment of scalable wavelength services with up to 1.6Tb/s per channel in its fiber optic networks located in New York and New Jersey. Boldyn was one of the first companies in the world to implement Ciena’s WaveLogic 6 technology, significantly improving network capacity and efficiency to meet the growing demand of operators, enterprises, and hyperscale enterprises seeking reliable, high-capacity connections between data centers.
Integrating Ciena’s WaveLogic 6 technology enables Boldyn Networks to provide optimal transmission economy for high-capacity, high growth applications. Boldyn’s products combine industry-leading coherent technology with a simple, server like operating model, using Ciena’s Waveserver platform to reduce the cost per bit and lower energy consumption.
Marc Rohleder, Chief Technology Officer of Boldyn Networks in the United States, said, “We are providing a solution to support the demand for fast and efficient transmission of large amounts of data driven by artificial intelligence. Deploying Ciena’s WaveLogic 6 technology will keep our network and customers ahead and prepare for future growth.”
Boldyn’s products are scalable to meet customers’ current and future growth needs, including 100Gb/s, 400Gb/s, 800Gb/s, and up to 1.6Tb/s. Ciena’s WaveLogic 6 will support single carrier wavelengths of up to 1.6Tb/s in metropolitan ROADM deployment, 1.2Tb/s over a distance of 1000 kilometers, and 800Gb/s on the longest link.
Kevin Sheehan, Chief Technology Officer of Ciena Americas, said, “Boldyn is at the forefront of deploying our next-generation coherent optical technology on networks in New York and New Jersey. WaveLogic 6 adopts advanced coherent DSP innovation technology, providing the highest capacity through fiber optics, allowing Boldyn to effectively expand its network, providing more traffic and faster speeds for operators, enterprises, and hyperscale enterprises.”
