Tata Communications launches 40 Gigabyte per second Services
Tata Communications has launched 40 gigabits per second enabled services on its TGN-Atlantic subsea cable system from New York to London using Ciena's 40G coherent optical technology. The upgrade will deliver bandwidth and flexibility to carriers and enterprises around the world with four times the capacity of traditional 10G wavelengths.
TeleGeography expects the demand for trans-Atlantic capacity to increase nearly 9-fold between 2010 and 2017.
Alan Mauldin, Research Director, TeleGeography, said, "The compounding effect of demand growth requires carriers to make considerable investments to expand network capacity. Tata Communications' implementation of 40G technology on the company's trans-Atlantic system will play a key role in meeting customers' capacity requirements in a cost-effective manner."
Based on Ciena's 6500 Packet-Optical Platform with 40G /100G coherent technology, TGN-Atlantic optical network supports carriers and large enterprises' growing bandwidth requirements for national and international high-speed connectivity with a flexible, cost-effective and scalable infrastructure. The network is fully compliant with International Telecommunication Union (ITU) standards.
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."
The first phase of the deployment will bring the 40G capability to the New York-London route. In the second phase, this will be extended to Ashburn, Virginia and the rest of Europe.
