Boldyn Networks Picks Ciena to Add Scalable 1.6Tb/s Wavelengths to its Fiber Network

Advanced network enhancements powered by Ciena’s WaveLogic 6 coherent optical technology benefits carriers, enterprises and hyperscalers with reliable, high-speed connections between data centers.

Boldyn Networks (Boldyn), one of the world's largest shared network infrastructure providers, has announced the deployment of scalable wavelength service up to 1.6Tb/s per channel across its fiber network in New York and New Jersey. Boldyn is one of the first in the world to implement WaveLogic 6 technology from Ciena, significantly enhancing network capacity and efficiency to meet the growing demands of carriers, enterprises and hyperscalers seeking reliable, high-capacity connections between data centers.

The integration of Ciena's WaveLogic 6 technology enables Boldyn Networks to deliver the best transport economics for high-capacity, high-growth applications. Boldyn’s offering combines the industry’s leading coherent technology with a simple, server-like operational model using Ciena’s Waveserver platform to drive down cost per bit and reduce energy consumption.

"We’re providing a solution that supports the need driven by AI to transmit massive amounts of data quickly and efficiently,” said Marc Rohleder, Chief Technology Officer of Boldyn Networks, US. “Deploying Ciena's WaveLogic 6 technology will keep our network, and our customers, ahead of the curve and prepared for future growth.”

Boldyn’s offering is scalable to meet the current and future growth needs of its customers, including 100Gb/s, 400Gb/s, 800Gb/s, and up to 1.6Tb/s. Ciena’s WaveLogic 6 will support up to 1.6Tb/s single-carrier wavelengths for metro ROADM deployments, 1.2Tb/s across 1,000km distances, and 800Gb/s over the longest links.

“Boldyn is at the forefront of deploying our next-generation coherent optical technology across its network in New York and New Jersey,” said Kevin Sheehan, Ciena’s Chief Technology Officer for the Americas. “WaveLogic 6 uses advanced coherent DSP innovations to provide the highest capacity over fiber, enabling Boldyn to efficiently scale its network to support more traffic and faster speeds for carriers, enterprises and hyperscalers alike.”
