The word 鈥淕eo鈥� refers to planet Earth and 鈥淢esh,鈥� in our context, refers to a mesh of submarine cables. Together, 鈥淕eoMesh鈥� refers to a network solution that allows submarine cable operators of all kinds to create a global mesh of submarine cables, providing unprecedented reliable, secure, and cost-effective intercontinental communications. With the arrival of Ciena鈥檚 WaveLogic鈩� 6 Extreme (WL6e) coherent optics, we鈥檝e taken GeoMesh to the extreme, which is why we call our unique, industry-leading submarine network GeoMesh鈩� Extreme.
GeoMesh Extreme is a simpler architecture that harnesses the latest in hardware, software, and services to enable an end-to-end network—overland and undersea—that seamlessly interconnects submarine, terrestrial, and cloud infrastructure. By uniting this infrastructure, GeoMesh Extreme allows operators to rapidly scale their networks, protect hundreds of terabits of critical communications traffic from inevitable cable faults, and lower the total cost of network ownership to protect revenues and margins well into the future.
There is no plan B for submarine cable networks, not even modern low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite networks. The global network of more than 600 submarine cables carries over 99% of the world’s intercontinental communications and is used 24 x 7 x 365 by people and machines—making it the undersea backbone of the internet. Submarine network bandwidth is forecast to grow at about for the foreseeable future along most submarine corridors. Constant and relentless submarine line terminal equipment (SLTE) technology innovation is required to ensure submarine cable networks maintain pace with undersea bandwidth demand growth, which is soon to be exacerbated by the advent of AI applications and their associated use cases.
Submarine cable operators face three core challenges:
- Keeping up with ongoing global bandwidth growth that will only increase with AI
- Protecting hundreds of terabits of traffic to avoid outages from inevitable cable faults
- Safeguarding revenues and margins while combating ongoing price erosion
These challenges may seem in opposition to each other—and solving them a rather daunting task. However, Ciena’s pioneering GeoMesh Extreme architecture was specifically conceived to directly address these three challenges through a unique mix of hardware, software, and services.
We recognize there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to building best-in-breed submarine networks. As such, we support cable operators of all kinds—from hyperscalers to wholesalers to consortia. And by offering a variety of submarine network building blocks, Ciena helps operators design, build, and maintain industry-leading networks that address your unique business requirements.
