Enhancing MCTV’s broadcasting services requires a programmable network at the lowest cost per bit. WaveLogic Ai will help MCTV determine the optimal capacity for any path across the network and tune to different capacity levels to deliver new levels of service.

Further, Ciena’s WaveLogic Ai will scale as MCTV’s end user demands evolve without requiring hardware changes to the network. ICT Infrastructure service partner UNIADEX will provide configuration, construction, service and support for the deployment.

“With Ciena, MCTV will gain control of its network to adapt to new performance benchmarks and dynamic service requirements,” said Kazuyasu Takahashi, Vice President and General Manager of Ciena Japan. “MCTV’s selection of Ciena reinforces the shift cable operators are making to upgrade their networks in today’s digital-first environment.”
