Telia Lithuania leveraging Ciena's WaveLogic 5 Extreme (WL5e) coherent optics to upgrade its countrywide network to support 400G and higher services and deploy the first 800Gb/s wavelength service between major cities in Lithuania. With this deployment, Telia Lithuania can deliver more flexible, higher-capacity, and cost-effective transport services with the resiliency and power efficiency required by 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), and other bandwidth-intensive applications. 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).
