Tata Communications and Ciena Corporation have announced the launch of 100 gigabits per second upgrade along the TGN-Pacific (TGN-P) submarine cable system that connects the US to Japan and three routes in the TGN-Intra-Asia (TGN-IA) market across Asia. The upgrade is being facilitated by deploying Ciena?s 6500 converged packet optical platform and GeoMesh solution.
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? Intra-Asia network, which spans roughly 6,700 km.
Based on Ciena?s OPn architecture for programmable network infrastructures that deliver much lower cost-at-scale, Ciena?s GeoMesh and WaveLogic solutions enable Tata Communications to better monetise its network and provide flexibility to its customers. This also allows them to handle capacity demands driven by high-bandwidth services such as cloud computing, video and mobile communications.
With Ciena?s OneControl Unified Management System, Tata Communications can also benefit from multi-layer service management capabilities that support streamlined service activation, fault management and performance monitoring.
These upgrades complement Tata Communications? previous GeoMesh deployment on its TGN-Atlantic (TGN-A) submarine network that links the US and Europe and allows Tata Communications to meet its customers? surging bandwidth demands with lower latency and seamless scalability.
