(NASDAQ: CIEN) said that Reliance Globalcom has selected Ciena's market-leading WaveLogic coherent optical 100G networking solutions to upgrade its FLAG Europe-Asia submarine network. Based on Ciena's OPn architecture, the 100G network will bring massive capacity increases to a route that connects Egypt and Jordan to satisfy customer demand for high-bandwidth services, while using its existing fibre infrastructure to support growing bandwidth requirements.
