Ciena is expanding its WaveLogic 6 (WL6e) coherent optical platform to support AI and hyperscale cloud networks. Matrix NAP Info recently used the technology to achieve 1 Tb/s wavelength transmission over a 1,055-kilometer submarine cable. This deployment marks a first for the Southeast Asia region.
The company added 18 new WL6e customers during the first fiscal quarter. Total adoption for the platform has reached 90 customers. This momentum serves as a primary catalyst for revenue growth as global demand for network capacity increases.
