Virginie Hollebecque, Vice President of EMEA at Ciena, commented: “Network resiliency is of great importance for all networks in the Baltic region, considering the region’s heavy reliance on digital technologies. With an optical solution from Ciena, Telia Lithuania has a resilient network foundation that can instantly bounce back from any disruptions, minimizing downtime, ensuring service continuity, and safeguarding its communication infrastructure.”
Telia Lithuania’s new network will also utilize additional Ciena optical and network management solutions that make possible:
- Increased capacity, network reach, and power efficiency with the 6500 packet-optical platform powered by WL5e and WaveLogic Ai programmable coherent optics
- Faster wavelength restoration with the 6500’s flexible photonics and intelligent Layer 0 control plane
- Quicker issue resolution and improved timing distribution for applications requiring highly reliable synchronization
- Simpler service deployment and network operations with Navigator Network Control Suite (Navigator NCS)
