In this customer story, learn how Telesat’s collaboration with Ciena supports the global satellite operator’s ability to provide high-speed, low-latency, fiber-like broadband connectivity and be the ‘carrier’s carrier.’ See more: https://lnkd.in/g8zYPJPR
For the first time, non-terrestrial networks such as low-Earth orbit satellites,
LEO, are being fully integrated in terrestrial networks
to create hybrid infrastructures. Our LEO network, Telesat
Lightspeed, will provide high throughput backhaul connectivity
to extend the geographic reach of terrestrial networks
to underserved and unserved regions, as well as connecting to users
directly on land, sea and air. Interest in the LEO constellations
has exploded in recent years, fueled by ubiquitous
high throughput, low latency connectivity. Because LEO satellites are closer to Earth
than traditional geostationary satellites, performance is on par
with fiber optic networks. Increased performance makes it viable
to integrate with network providers to extend the reach of their networks,
and the 5G connectivity. We have designed our Telesat Lightspeed to meet the carrier
grade requirements of telcos. Built to telco standards, MeF 3.0 carrier
Ethernet integrate into our network the same way they would
any other carrier ethernet services. End-to-end visibility, control and management of their services
through our customer portal and APIs. Without having to contact Telesat
to modify any of their sites or services. We���re a carrier's carrier. We've built a strong
collaborative partnership with Ciena. For example, we've collaborated
on a network architecture proof of concept in Telesat���s lab designed
alongside Ciena���s services team. These activities are leading
to the development of new product features that are tailored to Telesat���s
unique use cases and business needs. Ciena has provided consistent support towards designing
unique and ambitious network solution. Together we've enhanced network protocols
to exceed requirements of traditional terrestrial networks. Ciena has supported the development
and deployment of these custom features and implemented in their platform
for the Telesat Lightspeed solution.
Great to see Telesat and Ciena’s collaboration enabling high-speed, low-latency fiber-like broadband, supporting Telesat’s "carrier’s carrier" role highlights the power of aligned tech partnerships!
