Ethernet increasingly is viewed as the replacement technology for outdated SONET/SDH metro and wide area networks, and considered by many to be the global transport solution for packet-based traffic going forward. But to displace SONET/SDH, Ethernet must be more than economical; it must be truly high performance and easily interoperable with existing support systems. This “high-performance Ethernet” is, in fact, available today, and being deployed by service providers, enterprises and government agencies worldwide. It’s called Carrier Ethernet.

Ciena is a pioneer in this practical technology and a recognized leader in its development and global implementation. This makes us the logical authority to offer the world’s first technology-based Carrier Ethernet certifications.
