Tata Communications announced the launch of its new 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GigE) service for the enterprise segment. The services will be available in 25 cities across 11 countries in the world with the connectivity of all the key business centers possible through self-owned TGN (Tata Global Network) cable system. 

“Tata Communications’ 10 GigE service is a cost-effective alternative for customers who need large bandwidths on a truly global scale. Our availability in 25 cities worldwide is unmatched in the industry.” said John Hoffman, Head of Ethernet Services for Tata Communications. “This service gives customers the flexibility of using LAN Phy or WAN Phy interfaces.  Most customers desire LAN Phy interfaces to further reduce costs but not all providers can offer these LAN Phy interfaces to their customers.”

Hoffman added, “No other telecommunications company can offer dedicated 10 Gig Ethernet on a global scale. Our expansive suite of Ethernet Services establishes Tata Communications as a single source provider and global leader of Ethernet.  Utilizing our fully, self-owned system of cables further differentiates Tata Communications from our competitors.”

The use of 10 GigE connectivity helps enterprises to reduce operational costs without sacrificing on quality. Furthermore frames are forwarded in the order in which they are received thus ensuring all customer traffic flows in order and without any restriction.

“The ability to deliver 10GigE service on a global scale makes Tata Communications stand out in the global Ethernet services market,” said Soh Siow-Meng, senior analyst for Global Telecom Services at Current Analysis. “Service providers looking for a cost-effective option to meet the increasing demand for international bandwidth will find Tata Communications’ new service attractive.”
