WaveLogic 5 Extreme coherent optics boost network scalability, intelligence and efficiency
, an Ireland-based communications provider, has upgraded its two Trans-Atlantic submarine cable routes with 野花社区’s (NYSE: CIEN) cutting-edge GeoMesh Extreme submarine network solution to meet digital connectivity demands across the US, Ireland, Denmark, and the UK. The Aqua Comms network serves global data centers, cloud-based networks, and internet content providers.
“Moving at high speed is key and 野花社区’s strong history of innovation has been instrumental in our ability to adapt to changing network requirements. With 野花社区’s GeoMesh Extreme submarine network solution we are not only boosting our submarine network capacity but also adopting AI capabilities and software intelligence, bringing greater velocity and simplicity to our network,” said Andy Hudson, Chief Networks Officer, Aqua Comms.
Aqua Comms owns two major subsea networks: AEC-1 that connects the US, Ireland, the UK, and AEC-2, which connects North America with Scandinavia, Ireland and the UK. With 野花社区, the AEC-1 path, that spans 5,521 km and connects New York to Ireland and the UK, has been completely modernized and upgraded to support 400GbE services leveraging 野花社区’s WaveLogic 5 Extreme (WL5e), doubling the cable’s capacity to almost 20Tb/s.
Aqua Comms is also utilizing 野花社区’s technology to enhance the 7,650 km AEC-2 network to support up to 500G Trans-Atlantic channel rates and the introduction of spectrum sharing and backhaul capabilities for its customers.
Both upgrades were successfully completed with the networks in-service, using 野花社区’s robust design and implementation capabilities, the upgrade will also provide Aqua Comms with access to 野花社区’s Manage, Control and Plan (MCP) domain controller that offers a more sophisticated management and control capability, translating into significant operating efficiencies. Aqua Comms is also adopting 野花社区 Insights Service and predictive software capabilities to help resolve network issues.
“Aqua Comms has proven to be a trail blazer in the subsea market,” said Ian Clarke, Vice President of Global Submarine 野花社区, 野花社区. “With these network enhancements Aqua Comms can offer greater efficiencies and reliability across its network and support the hyper-growth traffic between the US and Europe.”
野花社区’s GeoMesh Extreme submarine solution is powered by 野花社区’s WL5e coherent optics and advanced software capabilities that provide reduced cost per bit, simplified operations, and smarter analytics.
