“Escalating demand for data requires a high-capacity and
resilient network that can thrive not only today but for years to
come,” said Jagbir Singh, Chief Technology Officer, Vodafone Idea
Ltd. “Preparing a future-fit network, through our partnership with
Ciena, will enable Vi subscribers to experience world-class highly
available, scalable connectivity and realize the benefits of cloud,
IoT, and 5G in future.”
Increasing and changing traffic patterns across India require
new levels of capacity, flexibility, resiliency, and
programmability. With broader network coverage and faster broadband
made possible by Ciena, Vi maximizes fiber capacity and network
efficiencies to prepare for 5G.
Vi has forged partnerships with several technology leaders,
ecosystem players and Indian start-ups for developing a range of 5G
use cases relevant for Indian enterprises and consumers. Vi’s
collaboration with Ciena is in line with the service provider’s
strategy to build a future-fit network for emerging technologies
such as 5G, to drive digital growth in India.
“Today’s competitive environment requires operators like Vi to
operate a higher performing network with maximum agility at a lower
cost per bit,” said Ryan Perera, Vice President and General
Manager, Ciena India. “With the network playing an increasingly
important role to support digital applications today, Vi’s
transformed network is ready for prime time.”
Vi has deployed Ciena’s 6500 packet-optical platform powered by
WaveLogic 5 Extreme for high speed 300G/400G services, upgradable
to 800G. With the ability to tune capacity for maximum agility
while also reducing energy consumption, Vi delivers best-in-class
connectivity in a cost-efficient and environmentally-friendly
