Biznet, an integrated digital infrastructure company in Indonesia, has selected Ciena’s 6500 Packet Optical Platform powered by WaveLogic coherent optics to help boost the network capacity, coverage and adaptability of the New Biznet Fiber.
With Ciena’s technology, Biznet can expand its network to more than 180 cities across the country and meet the growing needs of a digital Indonesia.
To be deployed by Ciena partner, Terrabit Networks, Ciena’s 6500 integrates optical transport networking and flexible advanced photonics capabilities across multiple chassis form factors, providing Biznet with a programmable infrastructure that can dynamically scale and adjust to changing network requirements. Additionally, the 6500's high-density 10G and 100G transponders enable multi-protocol, low-latency and wire-speed encryption capabilities to maximize Biznet’s service and enable the internet service provider to explore new business segments.

As Indonesia recovers from the pandemic, digital activity patterns are once again going to change. We will have a mix of network needs as some people return to the office, while others adopt a hybrid work model. With Ciena’s 6500, we will be able to deliver high-capacity networking that maximizes the bandwidth efficiency, capacity and flexibility of the overall network, helping us meet evolving customer needs.
Lawrence Toh, Group Managing Director, Terrabit Networks
Since 2014, Terrabit Networks has deployed and supported Biznet’s optical transport network (Jakarta-Bangka-Batam-Singapore) together with Ciena – with a maximum capacity of 1.6 Tbps connecting over 1000km of fiber; and the 2Tbps capacity Java Backbone connecting over 3000km of fiber, the upcoming 1.2Tbps capacity expansion into Sumatra and Java island, with over 1000km of connected fiber. This partnership has, and will continue to enable the growth of Biznet’s fiber network to newer levels of capacity and reach.
