Telstra, in collaboration with Ericsson and Ciena recently announced market leading enhancements to Telstra’s Next Generation Optical Network which will support automated increased resiliency and cost savings for Telstra’s inter-capital network.
Through the deployment of Layer Zero (Wavelength) Control Plane feature, Telstra’s network will become more flexible, programmable, and adaptive. This deployment will help Telstra automatically respond to emergencies such as fiber cuts and system events as well as recover from natural disasters, via wavelength switching.
The Layer Zero (Wavelength) Control Plane feature enables switching of wavelengths across Telstra’s unique three paths between the country’s capital cities, providing Telstra’s customers the best service available, underpinned by automated wavelength switching control.

This investment adds to the peace-of-mind that our customers can expect as they leverage our Adaptive Core Network and hybrid SD-WAN networking as foundations to support digital transformations.
Emilio Romeo, Head of Ericsson of Ericsson Australia and New Zealand
As we continue to push the boundaries of what is possible, Telstra has chosen Ericsson, alongside Ciena, to provide enhancements to its optical network by deploying a Layer Zero (Wavelength) Control Plane.
