MUMBAI: Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd (VSNL) announced on Wednesday that it is constructing a new TGN Eurasia Cable System linking Mumbai directly to Paris, London and Madrid via Egypt. The new cable system is being built in partnership with SEACOM and Teleco m Egypt (TE), and will provide VSNL with 1.28 terabit of new capacity on this route during 2009.
The TGN Eurasia Cable System will offer express connectivity between India and Europe, and will also have future options for additional connectivity in the Gulf region as well as multiple locations in Europe. The TE North solution was selected based upon TE's long experience in operating this route in a highly reliable fashion as well as offering diversity from both current and future consortium systems.
When combined with the company significant capacity ownership on other cable systems and its privately owned TGN Atlantic and TGN-TIC cable systems, the TGN Eurasia Cable System will enable the company to offer seamless and diverse connectivity between I ndia, South East Asia, South Africa, Western Europe and the USA.
"The plans to build the TGN-Eurasia Cable System coupled and the TGN-Intra Asia Cable System are major steps towards VSNL's vision to offer seamless global connectivity at affordable prices," said Mr. Vinod Kumar, President, Global Data Solutions, VSNL. "The TGN Eurasia Cable System will serve the increasing demand for bandwidth in the region and offer more options for route diversity and redundancy. Moreover, the path will complement the SEA-ME-WE-3 and SEA-ME-WE-4 cable systems and will enable us to p rovide global express capacity solutions from India going West, and with TGN-TIC, from India going East." This system was made possible through the VSNL's partnerships with TE and SEACOM, which will help cater to the surging demand in bandwidth from Africa to both the developed and emerging markets.
