Tata Communications and Oman-based Nawras have announced the launch of the Oman-India undersea cable system network for voice and data traffic.
In a statement, Tata Communications said, ?The cable will connect with Mumbai and then onwards to the rest of the world, through the Tata Global Network (TGN).?
The link offers enormous capacity for broadband and high quality voice services, enabling Nawras to meet the growing demand for international voice and data services from its customers.
?The Middle East is fast establishing itself as an emerging market hotspot for business which brings with it the need for solid infrastructure and associated enterprise services that require high speed bandwidth,? added the statement.
The development forms part of the TGN-Gulf cable project, which will connect the Gulf region to the rest of the world via the TGN, providing reliable high-speed bandwidth to all the key cities in the world.
The capacity will also help to support the continued expansion of broadband penetration, Internet usage and enterprise applications in each market.
The TGN-Gulf project includes Nawras (Sultanate of Oman), Etisalat (United Arab Emirates), Qatar Telecom (Qatar), Bahrain Internet Exchange (Kingdom of Bahrain), and Mobily (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia).
