Míla, the largest telecom infrastructure company in Iceland, selected Ciena to increase the country’s bandwidth capacity and 5G capabilities.
Míla provides fiber access, mobile xHaul, and Layer 2/3 VPN services to wholesale, commercial, and residential customers in Iceland.
The deployment includes Ciena’s 6500 Packet-Optical Platform, WaveLogic Ai coherent technology, 5164 Router, Manage, Control and Plan (MCP) domain controller, and Ciena Services.
Ciena said its solution delivers:
- A four-fold increase in line rate per wavelength—from 100Gb/s to 400Gb/s—with even greater capacities possible in the future
Flexibility to quickly move capacity where it’s most needed via an agile photonic layer
Simplified, cost-effective aggregation of TDM, IP, and Ethernet services on one network
Greater operational performance and efficiency with an open, easy-to-manage network
Improved reliability with PinPoint OTDR, which enables precise localization of potential trouble spots to decrease outage risks and accelerate repair times
Confidence in project success with end-to-end network design, migration, configuration, and testing services. - “Míla places great importance on the continuous development of its telecommunications infrastructure, and this deployment of Ciena’s innovative optical and IP technology demonstrates its commitment to providing a great customer experience on a high-performing network—whether domestically or internationally as an important hub for subsea cable connections,” said Virginie Hollebecque, Vice President of EMEA at Ciena.
