Ciena’s 5171 Platform empowers advanced access networks with 100GbE packet services beyond the Central Offices and POP sites, enabling deployment into street cabinets and other uncontrolled locations. The 5171 addresses the increasing need for 100GbE services and high-density 10GbE aggregation and delivers high-bandwidth enterprises, MBH, and MSO services with WaveLogic™ 5 DWDM.
Driving the industry toward 10GbE and 100GbE service delivery
Continued annual growth in metro network bandwidth demand is driving a change in the mix of connections and services, from 1GbE aggregation to 10GbE, and 10GbE aggregation to 100GbE. In addition, demand for high-speed 100GbE UNI services and the shift from 10GbE to 25GbE server connections is steadily increasing. This shift toward higher-bandwidth services means metro and regional Ethernet networks, once optimized for lower 1GbE rates, are no longer aligned to changing metro network traffic trends.
Dense, compact form-factor platform
Efficient use of real estate assets is a growing concern for network operators, who either host their own network equipment or lease power and space in collocation facilities. As services multiply, operators have been forced to stack 10G-capable equipment, incurring additional collocation rental and power costs. The 5171’s sleek, shallow depth and front access enable cabinet and controlled environmental vault deployment. In addition, extended temperature range can be used for uncontrolled environments for outdoor aggregation of 1/10/25/100/200GbE, enabling high capacity at the outdoor edge.
Space is increasingly limited and expensive, and network operators face substantial capital expenditures to activate new locations or must retire active equipment to free space for service delivery. Addressing bandwidth demand growth by deploying more and larger equipment is simply not a sustainable business model—economically or environmentally. Ciena’s 5171 cost-effectively offers dense 100GbE service delivery in 2RU, 254mm deep, fixed form factor with dual pluggable power supplies, optics, and coherent optics to minimize any downtime.
