Ciena’s Residential Broadband Solution enables local governments to deliver high-speed broadband internet access, ensuring digital equity for all citizens.

Local governments in rural areas are building municipal broadband networks to address the lack of affordable, high-speed internet access in their communities. While municipally owned broadband networks have many recognized benefits, local governments must overcome key challenges of technology infrastructure, operational affordability and customer adoption to create these advantages.

Ciena’s Residential Broadband Solution delivers the openness, modularity and scalability required to provide high-speed internet access that ensures digital equity for all citizens. Ciena’s approach enables municipal network operators to create a long-term sustainable business while protecting their network investment.

This solution leverages the power of Ciena’s advanced network technology portfolio, including Routing and Switching platforms with XGS-PON pluggable access technology, market-leading optical networking technology, Ciena’s Manage, Control and Plan (MCP) domain controller, Blue Planet Intelligent Automation Software and Ciena Services. This solution gives end-customers access to applications for working from home, telemedicine, remote learning, cloud gaming and Ultra-High Definition (UHD) video streaming now  — enabling municipal operators to upgrade their service portfolio when required by Metaverse and Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) applications without the need to rip and replace existing network infrastructure. 

The Ciena solution also provides municipal governments with the ability to generate additional revenue by providing advanced network services to local anchor institutions and businesses. Ciena goes beyond network infrastructure by offering municipal network operators a complete solution to accelerate their network modernization journey — from business planning to marketing execution to system integration, implementation and managed services.
