Ciena Supports 4K Video & High-Speed Internet Services for Videotron

Videotron is deploying packet optical and software solutions from Ciena, including the 6500 Packet-Optical Platform, which supports service delivery at 100G and beyond. Combined with Ciena’s WaveLogic 3 coherent optical processors, Videotron will be able to provide high-speed, low-latency connectivity between its Montreal data center and its existing data center in Quebec City, which will allow its business customers access to an expanded portfolio of services, including data hosting.

Ciena’s integrated OTDR will provide greater network visibility and control, allowing Videotron to locate and address potential trouble spots remotely. Through real-time proactive monitoring of the fiber network, Videotron can reduce the risk of outages and ensure maximum service availability.

Additionally, Ciena’s Unified Management System will provide multi-layer network monitoring and enable rapid and efficient service turn-up and troubleshooting.
