Peraton, which provides systems integration and enterprise IT services to government and commercial customers, says it is now offering 400G and greater wavelength services based on 800G fiber-optic network technology within Ciena's (NYSE:CIEN) Waveserver 5 platform. The new capabilities not only mean more network capacity, but reduced power consumption, footprint, and time to market, the company says.
The fiber-optic network upgrade enables the company to deploy Internet Protocol (IP) and business services faster, easier, and safer, Penton asserts. The new technology also supports the launch of new services such as Nx100G and 400G in the Washington, DC, metro area. Peraton adds it is using Ciena's Manage, Control and Plan (MCP) domain controller for software control and automation.
"Peraton is the only systems integrator with an internal commercial telecommunications and satellite communications capability," commented Nate White, vice president and general manager, Peraton Communications business unit. "By upgrading to 800G technology, Peraton brings government and commercial customers the affordable and high-performance telecommunications services necessary for meeting operational requirements."
"Ciena's Waveserver 5 makes it possible for Peraton to optimize its network in the face of today's growing bandwidth demands and fast-changing customer needs," added John Israel, regional director, national security, Ciena. "With a smarter and more dynamic network that can adapt, Peraton can deliver on its service-level agreements and pave the way for exciting digital experiences."
