Southern Cross, an independent international capacity provider in Australasia, has announced plans to utilize Ciena’s industry-leading WaveLogic 6 Extreme (WL6e) technology for its Southern Cross (SX) NEXT project. This project aims to expand connectivity from Sydney to Los Angeles. By implementing WL6e technology, Southern Cross will be able to support 800 Gb/s wavelengths across its single 12,500+km span. This will ensure reliable, energy-efficient, and high-bandwidth connections. Additionally, Southern Cross has previously partnered with Ciena to enable 400GbE services on the Hawaiki Transpacific Cable using Ciena’s GeoMesh Extreme submarine network solution. This achievement follows the successful establishment of 500Gbps channel wavelengths on the Hawaiki cable. These upgrades position Southern Cross favorably to meet the growing demand for international connectivity.
