Ciena (NYSE: CIEN) plans to release its fiscal third quarter 2026 financial results on Thursday, September 3, 2026, before the opening of U.S. financial markets. The earnings press release and additional supporting materials will be made available on the company’s website at www.ciena.com in the Investor Relations section.
According to Ciena, company management will host a live audio web broadcast discussing the results at 8:30 a.m. Eastern, accessible via its website.

Ciena (NYSE: CIEN) has been selected by e& UAE, the telecom arm of e& (ADX: EAND), to provide next-generation optical and software solutions for a future-ready, high-capacity DWDM network in the UAE.
The build-out uses Ciena’s Reconfigurable Line System, Waveserver with WaveLogic 6 Extreme 1.6Tb/s coherent optics, and the Navigator Network Control Suite for automation and end-to-end visibility. The upgraded network is intended to support rapidly growing bandwidth demand, cloud services, and data center interconnect needs for hyperscalers, neoscalers, and data center operators across the Middle East.
Ciena (NYSE: CIEN), Quantum Corridor, and Toshiba have completed a trial of 1.6 Tb/s quantum-safe optical encryption over Quantum Corridor’s live commercial network between data centers in Chicago and Hammond, Indiana. The test used Ciena’s Waveserver platform with WaveLogic 6 Extreme (WL6e) to deliver wire-speed AES-256-GCM encryption, combining NIST-certified post-quantum cryptography (PQC) with interworking to Toshiba’s quantum key distribution (QKD) servers for quantum-generated keys.
The trial also validated coexistence with existing WaveLogic 5 Extreme (WL5e) 800G encrypted traffic on the same photonic line system, and showed that current WL5e deployments can gain PQC support via a software upgrade. According to Ciena, this hybrid PQC/QKD approach offers network operators a practical migration path to quantum-safe networking and addresses “harvest now, decrypt later” threats without wholesale infrastructure replacement.
