Coherent Routing - VIP Room Resource Library - Ciena

Taking IP/optical networking to the next level

Converging metro, access, data center and cloud networks requires a holistic approach that goes way beyond putting plugs in routers. These resources can help you navigate, accelerate, and optimize your convergence journey.

Learn how to create future-ready networks that are leaner, more scalable, more efficient, and— crucially—able to meet the bandwidth and Quality of Service (QoS) needs of tomorrow.

Here you can find background information on Ciena’s IP and optical innovations, including WaveRouter^TM, our new purpose-built coherent metro router; our industry leading WaveLogic^TM5 pluggable optics; and our Manage, Control, Plan (MCP) Applications that enable seamless multi-layer automation, orchestration, and management.
