TE cooperates with Ciena to maximize Egypt’s capacity in MENA submarine cable system

Telecom Egypt (TE) has announced that it will cooperate with Ciena to use its latest optical technology, Wave Logic 5 Extreme, to maximize the former’s capacity along the Mediterranean segment of the Middle East and North Africa submarine cable system (MENA-SCS).
The new technology allows providing more capacities while rationalizing costs, in addition to many technical advantages such as obtaining the best spectral efficiency and the highest rate of data transmission over the wavelength, and raising the efficiency of space and energy use.
