On November 22, 2022, Ciena announced the acquisition of Benu Networks. Benu has developed a portfolio of field-proven, cloud-native software solutions, including a virtual Broadband Network Gateway ((v)BNG), which are highly complementary to Ciena’s existing portfolio of broadband access solutions. Now a part of the Ciena team, Benu is supporting Ciena’s ability to deliver a single fiber broadband access solution that integrates routing, OLT, subscriber management, and network services, thereby reducing both capital and operating expenses and improving sustainability for our customers.
