OneFiber Interconnect Germany is deploying a high-capacity, secure fiber-optic network leveraging Ciena’s WaveLogic 6 Extreme and coherent optical technologies to safeguard national infrastructure and support digital transformation. The 1.6 Tbps “Active-Network” aims to provide resilient, high-speed connectivity across over 5,500 kilometers and 300 access points, with services ranging from spectrum and wavelength offerings to 800G Ethernet. The infrastructure is designed to meet the increasing demand for secure communication in energy, transportation, and government sectors.
A flagship implementation of this collaboration is visible at the Bahn-Technologie-Campus Havelland near Berlin, where OneFiber operates a testbed for enterprises and government agencies. The campus uses Ciena’s Waveserver platform with integrated 800G optical encryption and open APIs to trial quantum key distribution (QKD) for post-quantum security. This environment supports real-world validation of critical systems while providing a platform for proactive threat mitigation.
OneFiber’s broader deployment incorporates Ciena’s Coherent Routing solutions, including its 5000 and 8000 router families and WaveLogic 5 Nano pluggable optics (100G–400G), creating a converged IP/optical architecture. The solution supports wavelengths in both C- and L-bands to double fiber capacity, enabling open-access broadband services with dynamic scalability and operational efficiency.
