TDC NET announced it will deploy Ciena's converged packet optical solutions to upgrade its metro and long-haul networks with 800G technology. The network upgrades will enable TDC NET to sustainably launch new, advanced services that support its net-zero emissions goal by reducing power consumption compared to its existing DWDM platform. TDC NET will deploy a modern OTN network based on Ciena's 6500 family of Packet Optical platforms, powered by WaveLogic 5 Extreme programmable 800G technology and WaveLogic 5 Nano 100G-400G coherent pluggable transceivers.

Ciena's portfolio of solutions will help TDC NET scale its network to meet future needs with a technology roadmap that can support higher capacity requirements over the long-term. TDC NET will utilize a range of Ciena products and services to upgrade its network. These include: 6500 Family of Platforms and O-NIDs that enable sustainable OTN network evolution from the edge to the core with scalability, flexibility, and multi-layer programmability.
