SSE Telecoms, the UK’s fourth largest asset owning telecoms operator (a business unit of Scottish and Southern Energy), has selected Ciena’s coherent 100 Gbps optical networking technology as the exclusive solution for deployment in its UK national network. SSE Telecoms is connecting its data centers across Britain using the 100 Gbps network.  The company is deploying Ciena’s 6500 Packet-Optical Platform equipped with WaveLogic coherent optical processors.  The high-capacity links, already deployed and operational, connect SSE Telecoms’ sites in Manchester and Hampshire to the Global Switch 2 data centre located in London’s Docklands.
