Sify becomes First ICT Player to have Submarine Cable System
Sify Technologies has announced its readiness to activate their capacities in the Europe India Gateway (EIG) submarine cable system. Sify has made a strategic investment in EIG capacities to support their expanding global operations.
EIG is a US$700 million high-capacity fiber-optic cable and one of the most advanced submarine cable systems in the world. It will provide multinational customers additional diversity and capacity to meet their critical communications needs. When fully activated, the EIG will be the first, direct, high-bandwidth optical fiber system from the UK to India.
The immediate beneficiaries are Sify's enterprise customers and partners in India, Europe and Americas, who can now leverage their enhanced capability to extend network and managed services across Middle East and Africa.
Raju Vegesna, Chairman, Sify, said, "We will have over 50 Gbps of bandwidth between India, Middle East and Europe and this will establish our presence and reputation on the Global Telecom map. Our International Services now have a world-class cable system backing to serve the growing markets in the Middle East and Africa."
Sify's exclusive partnership with GBI (Gulf Bridge International) to land their Cable System in India, scheduled to go live in the second half of 2011 will consolidate its position as a major player providing comprehensive ICT services globally.
