Telekom Srbija Group, and its subsidiary Mtel are utilizing Ciena's coherent optical solutions to enhance network connectivity between Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. This initiative will support regional growth, future-proof Telekom Srbija's infrastructure, and position Serbia and Bosnia-Herz Vegasovina as vital connectivity hubs within Europe. Ciena's 6500 Packet-Optical Platform equipped with WaveLogic 5 Extreme coherent transceivers will allow Telekom Srbija to deliver 800 Gb/s across a new 150-kilometer fiber route between Serbia and Bosnia- Herzegovina.

The high-capacity, low-latency network will provide scalable, highly resilient network performance and accommodate future capacity demands driven by hyperscaler traffic and the rollout of 5G services across Serbia. The project is being carried out in close collaboration with Ciena's certified service partner IGMAKO Smart Solutions, a systems integrator based in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina that provides end-to-end telecommunications solutions for the entire range of access, transport, and mission-critical products.
