Matsusaka CATV (MCTV), a cable operator in Japan, is deploying Ciena technology to transform its fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) infrastructure and deliver high-quality digital services across rural areas.
Ciena’s 6500 Coherent Optical Platform powered by WaveLogic Ai will enable MCTV to expand its backhaul capacity from 10G to 400G and scale its network to support new user demands.
Enhancing MCTV’s broadcasting services requires a programmable network at the lowest cost per bit. WaveLogic Ai will help MCTV determine the optimal capacity for any path across the network and tune to different capacity levels to deliver new levels of service. Further, Ciena’s WaveLogic Ai will scale as MCTV’s end user demands evolve without requiring hardware changes to the network. ICT Infrastructure service partner UNIADEX will provide configuration, construction, service and support for the deployment.
