Ciena has released its new 5400 family of reconfigurable switching systems with integrated transport functionality that can be flexibly configured to implement a broad range of network elements.
Ciena’s 5400 family also provides the ability to operate across network layers to increase the velocity of service creation, reduce network ownership cost, and improve network resiliency.
With its modular approach, the 5400 family reduces upfront capital costs and protects network investments over time by enabling service providers to pay only for what they need, when and where they need it in their network.
Ciena’s 5400 family can be configured and reconfigured at any time for a variety of high-capacity optical, TDM or packet functions.
