Tata Communications launches 40 gigabits per second enabled Services

Tata Communications has launched of 40 gigabits per second enabled services on its TGN-Atlantic subsea cable system from New York to London.

In partnership with Ciena, the deployment of 40G coherent optical technology on the TGN-Atlantic cable is the first on Tata Communications' global submarine network. The upgrade will deliver bandwidth and flexibility to carriers and enterprises around the world with four times the capacity of traditional 10G wavelengths.

This landmark implementation will pave the way for further upgrades across Tata Communications' global network, which consists of over 200,000 kilometres of terrestrial network fibre and over 500,000 kilometres of subsea cable. Its network carries 17% of the world's Internet traffic and 2,400 petabits of IP traffic per month.

TeleGeography expects the demand for trans-Atlantic capacity to increase nearly 9-fold between 2010 and 2017.

John Hayduk, President, Product Management and Service Development, Tata Communications, said, "The deployment of 40G technology on our TGN-Atlantic cable system is a hugely significant step for us in cementing our leadership in global network infrastructure. It will ensure our network is future proof and will bring maximum long-haul transmission bandwidth, lower latencies, higher uptimes and seamless scalability to carriers and enterprises, while ensuring a low cost of ownership for our customers."

Philippe Morin, Senior Vice-President, Global Field Organization, Ciena, said, "As the seven billion people across our planet become more interconnected, we are seeing rapid growth in subsea communications. The leading operators like Tata Communications are increasingly relying on Ciena's 6500 packet-optical platform to expand their network capacity without the large expense and delay of deploying new subsea fibre optic cables. We are pleased to help Tata Communications make international communications richer and easier."
