Japan's KVH Upgrades Backhaul Network with Cyan 100G Packet Optical Technology

Japan's KVH Upgrades Backhaul Network with Cyan 100G Packet Optical Technology

Tokyo-based KVH, Asia’s leading information delivery platform has selected Cyan's Z-Series Packet-Optical Transport and Blue Planet SDN Platforms to upgrade its backhaul network with Cyan’s ROADM and 100Gbps transport technology to support backhaul traffic from cable landing stations (CLS) to KVH’s metro data centers.

Cyan, a leading provider of SDN, NFV, and packet-optical solutions for network operators, said that the Z-Series delivers KVH integrated support for 100G coherent optical transponding and muxponding, scale up to 96-channels, and multi-degree ROADM for transporting up to 10 Tbps on a single fiber. With the evolution of sub-sea capacity moving to 100G and beyond, there is strong demand for high-speed Nx100G connectivity from the major submarine landing stations in Japan, Chikura and Toyohashi, to central Tokyo and Osaka. KVH’s new backhaul service targets global service providers, Internet content providers, and carriers with network capacity requirements to connect their sub-sea capacity to these key metropolitan cities, added Cyan.

Gint Atkinson, vice president of network strategy and architecture, KVH
Cloud services, content delivery, wholesales services and more are driving big bandwidth growth and new service offerings across the APAC region. KVH is ensuring we can capitalize on this trend by expanding our backhaul network beyond 10 Tbps for 100G services with Cyan. Ultimately, this will help us differentiate ourselves in the market and become the leading solution for dedicated connectivity in Japan’s main metropolitan areas.

Mike Hatfield, president, Cyan
Cyan is helping KVH transform their backhaul network by enabling 100G capacity between landing stations and data centers. Not only are we delivering greater optical performance and capacity, but Blue Planet’s increased software-based visibility, control, and flexibility will help KVH better serve the needs of customers and remain nimble in a highly competitive market.
