Empowering Digital Experience
According to the joint statement, EdgeUno's clients in Brazil and Mexico will now benefit from a more robust and scalable network. By adopting Ciena's WaveLogic 5 Nano 400ZR solution, EdgeUno has doubled its network capacity from 200G channels to 400G per channel.
This upgrade is said to have improved cloud service offerings and reduced the carbon footprint by optimising data centre space and lowering energy consumption.
Customer-Centric Approach
EdgeUno stated, "To provide the best possible digital experience and support bandwidth-intensive applications like high-speed gaming, cloud-based services, and live video streaming, we need the most innovative and reliable technology available. Ciena's WaveLogic technology plays a critical role in helping us meet our customers' digital demands and also supports our sustainability commitments."
Efficiency Through Innovation
Ciena said EdgeUno achieves twice the bandwidth per wavelength using its coherent technology, all while consuming a fraction of the power and space compared to the previous network technology.
