Tata Communications completes world’s first wholly owned cable network ring around the world
22 Mars 2012 - 3:10PM
Business Wire
Tata Communications, a leading provider of The New World of
Communications, today announces the completion of the world’s first
round-the-world fibre optic cable network with the official launch
of its Tata Global Network – Eurasia (TGN-EA) cable. The cable
connects Europe to India, through Egypt, bringing increased
capacity, resilience and enhanced communications links to not only
the Middle East, but to the rest of the world.
The completion of the final link across Egypt enables Tata
Communications to offer its customers unique access to a
wholly-owned express route cable from Europe to India with improved
latency, redundancy and scalability. In conjunction with the
company’s recently launched TGN-Gulf these routes will cater to the
increasing demand for voice, video and data services in and out of
the Gulf region.
Vinod Kumar, Managing Director and CEO, Tata Communications,
says, “Our customers, whether a European auto-manufacturer, an
Asian hotel group or a large U.S. financial services firm, need to
compete in global markets and are demanding faster and more
reliable worldwide connectivity. Companies and carriers in
developed and emerging economies require the confidence and
security delivered by a wholly-owned network such as Tata
Communications’ TGN.”
The round-the-world ring also offers city-to-city connections in
contrast to more traditional networks which only link cable landing
stations. This approach is more cost-effective, flexible and
provides a faster time to market delivery, as well as being easier
to maintain and manage.
The completion of the final TGN-EA link follows significant
investment from Tata Communications in its global network in recent
years. The TGN-EA cable system now interconnects Europe, India, the
Gulf and Middle East seamlessly with the rest of the world while
consistently providing higher quality bandwidth on a global scale.
Tata Communications owns and operates the world’s largest subsea
cable network which reaches countries representing 99.7 per cent of
the world’s GDP.
“This a landmark moment for Tata Communications as we officially
launch the world’s first wholly-owned global submarine cable
network as a complete and robust ring around the world,” concludes
Kumar.
The 9,280 km TGN-EA system which links Europe and India, running
across the Mediterranean and the Middle East, uses fibre-optic
technology based on microscopic glass fibres as thin as a strand of
human hair, and offers customers the lowest levels of latency with
RTD around 92 msec with speeds from 2Mbit/s to 10Gbit/s
available.
Today’s announcement together with Tata Communications’ recent
global technology association launch with Formula 1™ and its public
commitment to drive cross-network video collaboration through the
Global Meeting Alliance™ all complement and further strengthen Tata
Communications’ vision to deliver a New World of Communications to
advance the reach and leadership of its customers across the
globe.
