Southern Cross readies to be first submarine
cable operator to offer 800 Gb/s across the Pacific
Southern Cross, Australasia’s independent specialist
international capacity provider, is planning to deploy Ciena's
(NYSE: CIEN) industry-leading WaveLogic 6 Extreme (WL6e) technology
as a key part of the Southern Cross (SX) NEXT expansion plans from
Sydney to Los Angeles. The use of WL6e technology in NEXT will
allow the implementation of 800 Gb/s wavelengths across the single
12,500+km span, providing reliable, energy efficient, and high
bandwidth connections to support offerings such as the recently
launched 400GbE services from Southern Cross.
“We have a long-standing history with Ciena, and their strong
history of innovation and deep understanding of our business needs
have continued to be instrumental to our success. SX NEXT cable is
a high-performance system and the first phase of the replacement of
the original systems by 2030. Today, we’re once again announcing
what is expected to be another networking world first, implementing
Ciena WaveLogic 6 on SX NEXT to help us push the envelope in terms
of high-speed bandwidth connectivity and energy efficiency,” said
Laurie Miller, President and CEO, Southern Cross.
Ciena’s WL6e integrates new coherent DSP innovations to provide
the highest capacity over fiber. WL6e supports 1.6 Tb/s
single-carrier wavelengths for metro networks, 800 Gb/s services
across the longest links, a 50% reduction in watts per bit, and
requires less space compared to the previous generation for similar
capacities. Ciena’s technology enables Southern Cross’ network to
more quickly respond to fluctuating and often unforeseen network
demands driven by cloud-based services, content, and emerging
applications that use artificial intelligence.
“The Southern Cross NEXT cable is key to the transpacific cable
ecosystem, contributing to improved network performance across the
Pacific region – all on top of Ciena GeoMesh Extreme technology.
Southern Cross has always looked to Ciena for the latest
innovations to gain a competitive advantage. With this upgrade to
WL6, Southern Cross will be able to provide customers with
unrivalled connectivity, allowing them to enjoy applications and
services of up to 800GbE,” said Dino DiPerna, Senior Vice
President, Global Research and Development, Ciena.
