Tata Comm launches 100G connectivity for carrier and enterprise customers

22 Jan 2014 Evaluate

Tata Communications, a leading provider of A New World of Communications, and Ciena Corporation (CIEN), the network specialist, has launched 100 gigabits per second upgrade along the TGN-Pacific (TGN-P) submarine cable system that connects the U.S. to Japan and three routes in the TGN-Intra-Asia (TGN-IA) market across Asia. With this latest in a series of investments, Tata Communications becomes the only private subsea cable owner that has 100G deployed across major routes around the world on its own infrastructure.

With Ciena’s 6500 Converged Packet Optical platform and GeoMesh solution, Tata Communications is upgrading its TGN-P submarine cables, which is the longest segment in route km and believed to be the highest capacity subsea cables deployed in the Pacific - to 100G. As a result, Tata Communications now offers 100G transport services on its TGN-P submarine cable system that links the U.S. to Japan, a distance spanning 22,300 km. The cable connects Emi, Chiba to Hillsboro, Oregon and Toyohashi as well as Aichi Prefecture to Hillsboro, Oregon. In addition, Ciena’s solutions also supports Tata Communications’ IntraAsia network, which spans roughly 6,700 km.

These upgrades complement Tata Communications’ previous GeoMesh deployment on its TGN-Atlantic (TGN-A) submarine network that links the U.S. and Europe, and allows Tata Communications to meet its customers’ surging bandwidth demands with lower latency and seamless scalability.

Tata Communications’ global connectivity services are built on the world’s largest and most advanced global subsea cable network, which enables carriers and enterprises to connect almost anywhere in the world. The Tata Communications global network (TGN) consists of 210,000 kilometers (kms) of terrestrial and subsea network fiber, reaching countries representing 99.7% of the world’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Its IP Transit Network (AS6453) makes up 20% of the world’s Internet routes and carries 4,200 petabits of traffic per month on its Internet backbone.
