The Asia America Gateway consortium recently upgraded its Asia and trans-Pacific cable network leveraging Ciena's GeoMesh submarine solutions. This will allow AAG to meet growing demand for international capacity. With Ciena's 6500 Packet-Optical Platform, powered by WaveLogic coherent optics and Flexible Grid technology, AAG can seamlessly add capacity and cost-effectively extend the useful lifetime of its network.

Additionally, Ciena's unified management capability is providing AAG with simple point-and-click service provisioning to enable faster service turn-up and end-to-end visibility of network performance. Ciena is also providing installation and commissioning via its Specialist Services portfolio as part of this turnkey project. These services expedited the launch of the new network capacity, providing AAG with accelerated revenue potential.
