NEW DELHI: Ciena has expanded its partnership with Flex to manufacture Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD)-compliant pluggable optical line terminals (OLTs) as well as optical network units (ONU). Production is expected to begin at a Flex factory in the US mid-2024, the telecom gear maker said in a statement. The BEAD program provides $42.
45 billion to expand high-speed internet access by funding planning, infrastructure deployment and adoption programs in all 50 states, Washington D. C. , Puerto Rico, the U.
S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, as per the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA). Advt “Ciena’s investments will support the U.
S. government’s Broadband Equity Access and Deployment (BEAD) projects, create new jobs and help broadband service providers comply with the Build America, Buy America (BABA) requirements,” Ciena said. Under the terms of the agreement, Flex will provide advanced manufacturing capabilities, including specialised optical transceiver assembly, and supply chain services, enabling Ciena to quickly ramp high-volume production of its pluggable OLTs and ONUs at scale.
Further, Ciena will also develop its next-generation 25GS-PON pluggable OLTs and ONUs in the US, providing a seamless evolution path for service providers to build “open, modular, and scalable broadband networks”, the statement added. “As stewards of the digital networks that underpin our lives, we are excited to announce the first U. S.
-based manufacture of our unique pluggable optical line terminal (OLT) solution. We take immense pride in advancing American innovation and strengthening domestic supply chains,” said Gary Smith, President and CEO, Ciena. “Our expanded manufacturing agreement with Ciena is a testament to our mutual commitment to provide high-quality, reliable technologies that accelerate the ability to address America’s next-generation broadband deployment needs,” said Rob Campbell, President of Communications, Enterprise and Cloud, Flex.
