Sparkle taps Ciena for U.S.-Chile subsea upgrade

Sri Lanka Telecom taps Nokia for FTTH network

International service provider Sparkle, and Ciena have announced the upgrade of Sparkle’s 10,476km fibre on the Curie submarine cable, using Ciena’s WaveLogic 5 Extreme (WL5e) 800G programmable solution, to improves capacity and speed on the Chile to U.S. route. Sparkle will also have direct connectivity between data centres in the U.S. and Chile using Ciena’s GeoMesh Extreme Submarine Network Solution powered by WL5e. In addition, through Ciena’s

Sri Lanka Telecom PLC (SLT), one of the leading telecom service providers in Sri Lanka, wi ll deploy an FTTH network based on Nokia’s fibre technology. Supporting its accelerated f ibre initiative, the deployment enables SLT to bring high-speed broadband services to more than 200,000 enterprise and residential users across the country. SLT is rapidly enhancing its broadband footprint in Sri

Manage, Control and Plan (MCP) domain controller, Sparkle will be provided with real-time intelligence and visibility to help its network proactively identify connectivity issues. Ciena says by adopting WL5e, Sparkle’s fibre on Curie will be able to reach a total transmission capacity of up to 450Gbps per channel – which is two times faster than previously available technology. This will result in an ultimate capacity of up to 19Tbps and a 30 percent increase in the network’s ability.
