Biznet in Indonesia has deployed Ciena's converged packet-optical platforms and GeoMesh submarine solution on its new 100G fiber-optic terrestrial and submarine networks. The networks are designed to help drive economic growth in the region and deliver an affordable range of new high-speed information and on-demand communications services to residential and business customers. Biznet is leveraging a number of Ciena platforms to support its efforts to reduce Indonesia's digital gap.

Ciena's 6500 Packet-Optical Platform, equipped with WaveLogic Coherent Optical Processors and integrated switching capabilities, allows Biznet to quickly deploy new services across long-distance routes, while reducing latency, power, and space requirements. By deploying Ciena's WaveLogic 3 Extreme coherent optics across its submarine link, Biznet is able to improve the traffic carrying capacity with greater spectral efficiency and reach to lower its total cost of ownership. Biznet is also utilizing Ciena's software capabilities, including WaveLogic Photonics PinPoint Advanced Fiber Analytics software, which provides a complete fiber loss profile analogous to a CT scan of the network.

This allows Biznet to address potential trouble spots, reduce the risk of outages and decrease repair times from days to hours. Additionally, Ciena's unified management software provides service deployment and bandwidth optimization monitoring.
