Cirion Technologies introduced the initial phase of a new Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) platform designed to provide on-demand enterprise connectivity across Latin America. The service, built on Cirion’s regional fiber and data center infrastructure, enables enterprises to provision, scale, and manage high-capacity connectivity services through a self-service digital portal with near real-time activation. The rollout initially covers selected portions of Cirion’s network spanning more than 20 countries and leveraging over 105,000 km (65,244 miles) of fiber infrastructure.
The deployment combines optical transport, routing, switching, and automation technologies from Ciena with orchestration software from Carma. Cirion said the first commercially available service under the NaaS framework is automated wavelength provisioning, with additional transport and IP services planned in future phases. The platform integrates Ciena’s Waveserver and 6500 Reconfigurable Line System optical platforms, 8110 and 8114 Coherent Aggregation Routers, and Navigator Network Control Suite. Carma developed API-based integration between Cirion’s customer portal and Ciena’s automation platform to support automated provisioning and lifecycle management across Cirion’s terrestrial and subsea footprint.
According to Cirion, the NaaS architecture allows customers to order and activate connectivity without replacing existing network or security infrastructure. The platform supports dynamic bandwidth allocation, service monitoring, operational visibility, and API-driven workflows intended for enterprises, hyperscalers, cloud providers, and AI workloads requiring flexible connectivity between data centers and cloud environments. Cirion positioned the launch as part of a broader transition toward programmable, cloud-like network consumption models in Latin America, where enterprise connectivity provisioning has traditionally relied on manually configured fixed circuits.

“Today in Latin America, when a company needs more bandwidth or a new cloud connection, it often has to wait weeks and sign a new contract,” said Santiago Londoño, CEO of Connectivity Business at Cirion LATAM. “NaaS eliminates that friction: the network adapts to the business, not the other way around.”
