Mukesh Ambani’s telecom business Reliance Jio has partnered with the US-based telecom networking solutions company Ciena to deploy packet-optical technology for its ambitious pan-India fourth-generation (4G ) network rollout across telecom circles.

Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited has deployed Ciena multi-terabit converged packet-optical technology to power its pan-India 4G network core and help unleash digital revolution in India,” the Maryland-headquartered company in a statement told ETTelecom.

Ciena's solution will provide Jio a high-speed and highly-resilient mesh network, operating at speeds up to 200 Gb/s, and allows unprecedented scale to support its surging subscriber base and subsequent data explosion.

The deal size however could not be ascertained but its is estimated to be close to Rs 100 crore.

In order to provide ultra-high bandwidth services across its entire network, Reliance Jio deployed Ciena’s 6500 and 5430 Packet-Optical Platforms , powered by WaveLogic coherent technology which will also support Jio’s upcoming subscriber additions.

Ciena also added that it provides higher uptime and unmatched customer experience compared to traditional network architectures.

“With Ciena we are not only able to provide robust scalability to offer new levels of data consumption, which is already 8 to 10 times above market levels, but also a supreme level of confidence in our network’s reliability and level of service that stands out in our marketplace,” Reliance Jio president Jyotindra Thacker in a statement said.
