Some of the key takeaways are that Ciena is a global leader in high-capacity submarine networking solutions. They provide technologies like coherent transport and automated optical mesh networking to help operators address challenges like increasing capacity demands, cable faults, and changing service requirements.

Some of the challenges faced by submarine cable operators include rapidly increasing capacity demands, high costs of cable faults from natural disasters, and the need to support both legacy and new services as requirements change over time.

Ciena provides solutions like 40G and 100G coherent optical technologies, global mesh networking with advanced protection capabilities, and converged networking platforms to help operators increase capacity, add resilience against faults, simplify network operations, and efficiently support both legacy and new services.
