"Technology certification programs today essentially represent a live version of a specific vendor's product manual, so we see a real opportunity to offer increased value by focusing on the fundamental technology building blocks of advanced networks," said James Caprara, vice president, global human resources development at Ciena. "This approach enables us to extend our Carrier Ethernet and optical technology and network design expertise into new knowledge-based products that deliver vendor-independent training and education to a wide range of sales, engineering, technical support and IT professionals from service providers, large enterprises, research and education institutions, government, military and other organizations as well as college students in the early stages of their networking careers."

To address the needs of beginners to skilled professionals, the Carrier Ethernet Certification Program is led by Ciena Carrier Ethernet experts and is available in four tiers, with each requiring completion of the previous course as a prerequisite:

-- Carrier Ethernet Associate -- students gain a firm foundation in Carrier Ethernet standards, terminology, concepts and applications. This course is designed for people in or entering sales, general management and executive positions and is the foundation for all subsequent programs.

-- Carrier Ethernet Professional -- in a lab-based environment, students gain skills and knowledge required to configure and troubleshoot Carrier Ethernet networks. This course is designed for customer service technicians, deployment engineers and technical support engineers.

-- Carrier Ethernet Consultant -- using case studies, students develop analytical skills required to design Carrier Ethernet solutions for real-world applications. This course is designed for systems engineers, network planners and advanced technical support engineers.

-- Carrier Ethernet Expert -- students analyze and propose solutions for high-level Carrier Ethernet service provider issues. This course is designed for network architects and design engineers.

"As networks transition from legacy to new technologies, so too must the professional training resources, which is why we've partnered with Ciena Learning Solutions to offer this unique Carrier Ethernet Certification Program to our members," said Dr. Laura Weidner, Dean, Workforce Development, Anne Arundel Community College and GCC Board Liaison. "With colleges in 12 markets across the U.S. already signed up to offer the courses, and potentially expanding up to 100 markets worldwide within the next year, we're enthusiastic about the response and the ability to bring in-depth, multi-tier technology education to our members to help them address the demand for emerging technology education much faster than if they tried to develop it on their own."

Anne Arundel Community College in Maryland, a founding member of the GCC, has already begun offering Ciena Learning Solutions courses at its Hanover, Md. campus. The GCC is currently offering classes in multiple locations, including: Chicago, Denver and Washington, DC.

Ciena's CN 5305 Service Aggregation Switch Receives Highest Possible Ranking from Broadband Gear Report

Carrier Ethernet switch recognized by panel of MSO technical executives as a superb product that sets a new standard for performance and provides groundbreaking new technical milestones

LINTHICUM, Md., Oct 26, 2009 -- Ciena(R) Corporation (NASDAQ: CIEN), the network specialist, today announced that its CN 5305(TM) Service Aggregation Switch received the highest possible ranking -- 5 out of 5 diamonds -- in Broadband Gear Report's (BGR) 2009 Diamond Technology Reviews. Based on BGR's product rating system of 0 to 5 diamonds, a score of 5 is considered to be "a superb product that sets a new standard for performance and provides groundbreaking new technical milestones." Platforms within Ciena's Carrier Ethernet Service Delivery (CESD) portfolio (CESD) portfolio, which includes CN 5305, have been deployed by more than 100 carriers, wireless service providers, cable operators and new entrants in 25 countries, including recent deployments by Clearwire and Mzima Networks.

Based on Ciena's field-proven True Carrier Ethernet(R) technology, CN 5305 is optimized for metro edge networks and delivers high-density Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connectivity to the subscriber edge and high-performance 10GbE uplinks to the service provider core. It combines the low cost and high capacity of Ethernet with the reliability, management and service quality typically associated with SONET/SDH systems. CN 5305 features a software architecture based on a common, service-aware operating system that is used across Ciena's entire CESD portfolio, providing a consistent deployment model and zero-touch, automated device configuration and service provisioning that can result in up to 60 percent faster service provisioning and as much as 40 percent reduction in operational expense versus platforms that rely on manual configurations.

"Ciena's CN 5305 Service Aggregation Switch received superlative rankings in this year's Diamond Technology Reviews program with the judges paying particular notice to its robustness," said Laura Hamilton, editor-in-chief at BGR. "The panelists who reviewed the solution saw it as an elegant way for cable operators to contend with mixing and managing multiple service encapsulation formats and handing them off successfully between the access and core networks."

The Diamond Technology Reviews are an annual product rating program where a group of senior broadband industry engineering professionals organized by BGR's editorial team analyze product applications submitted by the broadband industry's vendor community. This year, the judges included executives from Armstrong, Charter, Cox, Rogers, Suddenlink and Sunflower Broadband. The full results of the judging will be published both in BGR as well as in a special print issue to be distributed at SCTE's Cable-Tec Expo, from October 28-30, 2009 in Denver, Colo. Ciena will be showcasing CN 5305 at the Expo in Booth #11033.

"This recognition by BGR's panel of technical industry executives further validates the customer traction we're seeing for flexible Carrier Ethernet solutions that can cost-effectively scale to support the growing capacity needs and service diversity of today's metro edge networks," said Steve Alexander, chief technology officer at Ciena. "CN 5305 achieves this through its unique pay-as-you-grow architecture and innovative software automation that lets service providers rapidly modify and introduce new services -- across a broad range of relevant applications, including wireless backhaul and Ethernet business, residential and wholesale services."

"From video surveillance to IP services and submarine cable interconnection, our service portfolio goes well beyond the basic voice and data offerings of our competitors so we wanted a backbone network that had the flexibility to support a variety of customers and services," said Jose R. Quintero, CTO at Cable & Wireless Panama. "After deploying the CN 4200 platforms for the video surveillance network and realizing the benefits of its advanced features, we quickly moved to expand the deployment to ensure an agile transport network throughout our serving area."

Featuring multiple chassis sizes for deployment from the customer premises to the core of long haul regional networks, Ciena's CN 4200 family of platforms feature full service transparency (bits going in equal bits coming out), performance monitoring for Ethernet and SONET/SDH services, industry-first software-programmable ports and scalability to true, single wavelength 100G capacity. Used in a variety of applications, the CN 4200 platforms have been deployed by service provider, government and enterprise customers worldwide.

"As we continue to engage with Cable & Wireless Panama and other progressive network operators around the world, we are seeing a common approach to next generation transport requirements emerge that demands scale in three dimensions: multi-service flexibility, distance and capacity," said Mike Aquino, senior vice president, global field operations at Ciena. "The CN 4200 platforms provide a very flexible set of networking building blocks that operators can use to configure transport solutions tailored to their portfolio of services and operational needs, whether it is for a single metro application or a service-driven long haul national network."
