Tata Communications has launched 100 Gigabits per second-enabled services on its TGN-Atlantic (TGN-A) subsea cable system which extends from New York to London.
The company has opted for Ciena?s GeoMesh networking solution to upgrade its TGN-A submarine cable to 100 Gigabits per second.
The upgrade is expected to enhance bandwidth and enable carriers and enterprises to scale up their network to meet consumer demands for bandwidth hungry applications.
This exercise is expected to be the first of many upgrades of Tata Communications? global network (TGN), which consists of210,000 kilometres of terrestrial and subsea network fibre. The TGN IP transit network (AS6453) comprises of 20 per cent of the world?s internet routes and carries 4,200 Petabits of traffic per month on its Internet backbone.
The TGN-A will also be equipped with Ciena?s GeoMesh solution. The first phase of the deployment will bring 100 Gigabits capability to the New York-London route, expected to be in full service during the first half of 2013.
