As part of GBI’s infrastructure evolution,
Ciena has increased GBI’s Smart Network lit capacity by 10 Tb/s
Gulf Bridge International (GBI), a global cloud, connectivity
and content enabler, is deploying Ciena’s (NYSE: CIEN) GeoMesh
Extreme, powered by WaveLogic 5 Extreme, to increase GBI’s Smart
Network capacity and performance. This upgrade will help GBI meet
the demanding internet traffic requirements between the Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, Europe and India. This will
also help prepare the region for major upcoming sporting events –
including the world’s largest football competition – in Qatar and
the wider region.
Surges in video streaming, cloud computing and 5G have driven
bandwidth demand and the need for submarine and terrestrial network
upgrades globally. GBI’s upgrade with Ciena uses the latest
technologies to increase design capacity by 10 Tb/s, enhance its
capabilities, and provide increased flexibility in delivery
times.
“Ciena’s WaveLogic 5 Extreme coherent optical technology will
allow us to maximize the use of our fiber assets, ensuring a great
quality of service for our customers,” said Cengiz Oztelcan, Chief
Executive Officer, GBI. “We are excited to continue to expand our
relationship with Ciena. GBI can now add significant capacity and
intelligence to the network to meet requirements from customers
including Internet Content Providers (ICPs).”
“Ciena’s WaveLogic technology and software will help GBI create
a network that can adapt, self-optimize, and scale to meet customer
demands,” said Jamie Jefferies, Vice President and General Manager,
International, Ciena. “We understand the importance for GBI to have
a programmable and reliable submarine network – especially as the
region will soon be hosting the world’s biggest football
tournament, which is expected to drive a great deal of video
traffic.”
GBI will leverage Ciena’s WaveLogic 5 Extreme (WL5e) to optimise
its design capacity and help significantly reduce the cost per bit.
Additionally, the embedded software intelligence in WL5e gives GBI
the ability to dynamically fine tune capacity to meet changing
network demands. Ciena’s Manage, Control and Plan (MCP) domain
controller will provide software control and automation to
accelerate network operations. With this network upgrade, GBI
intends to provide the best possible digital experiences to its
partners, customers and end-users alike.
