Transforming networks together
Formally established in 2016, the partnership has seen the continuing deployment of Ciena’s optical technology across Colt’s IQ Network. First applied throughout Europe and Asia, Ciena’s technology, combined with Colt’s network capability, paves the way for a high capacity, programmable network, servicing key markets. Colt’s recent network upgrade in North America also extends this potential into thirteen major telecoms and cloud hub cities in the US and Canada.
