Ciena’s Navigator Network Control Suite (Navigator NCS) enables broadband cable engineers to reduce operational expenses while unlocking new revenue opportunities by rethinking how multi-layer networks are planned, operated, and optimized. The suite consists of the Navigator Multi-Layer Controller with integrated Navigator Intelligent Apps, accessible through a user-friendly GUI, open APIs, or a new natural language interface – Navigator AI Assistant. By providing a unified, multi-layer, multi-vendor view across optical, Ethernet, and IP domains, Navigator NCS eliminates operational silos and simplifies complex workflows. With Navigator NCS, providers gain visibility and alarm correlation across layers, helping isolate root causes and reducing troubleshooting for fiber and Ethernet issues by more than 60% in most cases.
