He said it would establish a foundation to target \"growth opportunities through enterprise, mobility\" and data centres.\n\nCiena asserts its WL6e is the \"industry's first 1.6Tb/s coherent optical technology\", a rate the operator hit when connecting two sites in its meshed Data Centre Interconnect network using a single optical channel.\n\nThe technology provides all operators a means to maximise fibre capacity, Ciena explained.\n\nAmit Malik, VP and GM for Asia Pacific, Japan and India, said the rates on offer means Vodafone Idea should be comfortably able to provide 800G services consistently, and be ready to meet future traffic growth and connectivity demands.",
