e& UAE unveils DWDM network with Ciena’s high-speed optical gear

e& UAE, the telecom arm of e& (ADX: EAND), is deploying Ciena’s (NYSE: CIEN) next-generation optical and software solutions to build a future-ready, high-capacity Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) network capable of handling surging traffic demands. This network enhancement will enable e& UAE to power the next wave of digital growth with greater scalability, ultra-high-capacity, and the foundation needed for the massive demands of the advanced digital services.

The new network build-out is designed to provide significantly increased capacity for e& UAE, supporting the rapid growth of bandwidth demand across the region and beyond. It will enable the high-speed, data-intensive connectivity needs of hyperscalers, neoscalers and data center operators.

To support this network build, e& UAE is leveraging Ciena’s Reconfigurable Line System (RLS) and Waveserver platform equipped with WaveLogic 6 Extreme (WL6e) 1.6Tb/s coherent optics. Additionally, Ciena’s Navigator Network Control Suite provides end-to-end network visibility and automation, an essential aspect of future intelligent and data-driven networks. This deployment builds on a long-standing relationship between e& UAE and Ciena focused on enabling next-generation digital infrastructure in the UAE.
