Ciena\u2019s GeoMesh Extreme, leveraging\u00a0Waveserver 5\u00a0powered by\u00a0WaveLogic 5 Extreme\u00a0and an optical bypass, will deliver more capacity through ASE\u2019s existing cable, enabling improvement in its design capacity of 193%. Optimized for 100GbE and 400GbE applications with unmatched scaling capabilities, Waveserver 5 also minimizes ASE\u2019s rack space and reduces power consumption by 60% for a greener solution.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWith Asia a key hub for international business, intra-Asia cable routes are becoming increasingly congested. In this crowded playing field, we\u2019ve teamed up with Ciena on upgrades designed to enhance the delivery capacity of our current cables. We are especially pleased to have greener, more sustainable ways of powering connectivity and reduce power consumption,\u201d said Mr. Yoshio Sato, ASE MC Chairman.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ASE cable also utilizes Ciena\u2019s\u00a06500\u00a0Packet-Optical Platforms in a Submarine Line Terminal Equipment (SLTE) configuration and\u00a0Manage, Control and Plan (MCP)\u00a0domain controller.\u00a0Ciena Services\u00a0is providing consulting, systems integration, maintenance and network transformation services to the cable, a collaboration between the region\u2019s telecommunication carriers\u2014NTT Ltd Japan Corporation (NTT LJ),\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/main.pldt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">PLDT<\/a>,\u00a0StarHub\u00a0and\u00a0Telekom Malaysia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have been working extensively with ASE to maximize its network assets across the last few upgrades. With WaveLogic 5 Extreme enabling 400GbE single-wave transport across any distance, ASE can scale its cable with less power and cost. Together with ASE, we are making continued progress toward a more ecofriendly, connected future without compromise,\u201d said Jamie Jefferies, Vice President and General Manager, International, Ciena.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ciena\u2019s GeoMesh Extreme, leveraging\u00a0Waveserver 5\u00a0powered by\u00a0WaveLogic 5 Extreme\u00a0and an optical bypass, will deliver more capacity through ASE\u2019s existing cable, enabling improvement in its design capacity of 193%.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":54578,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[7460,379,96,2727,1656],"class_list":["post-54577","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-headlines","tag-ciena","tag-pldt","tag-technology","tag-technology-adaption","tag-technology-investment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.upgrademag.com\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
