Tata Communications Unveils TGN-IA2 Cable System

In a significant leap towards enhancing network connectivity for businesses in Asia and beyond, Tata Communications has announced the launch of its new subsea cable system, TGN-IA2. This state-of-the-art system, constructed by the consortium Asia Direct Cable (ADC), is designed to provide seamless connectivity, scalable bandwidth solutions, and high-capacity data transfers over multiple routes.

With TGN-IA2, clients such as enterprises, hyperscalers, and service providers will benefit from diverse and resilient connectivity options from a single trusted source within their intra-Asian networks. This advancement not only integrates smoothly with Tata Communications existing assets but also facilitates connectivity to key geographical regions including the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), as well as India.

One of the standout features of TGN-IA2 is its independent ownership model, which grants Tata Communications unparalleled flexibility and scalability. This unique approach allows for faster provisioning and commercial readiness for clients, addressing the ever-evolving demands of data-intensive applications. Companies can now leverage a top-tier network that quickly adapts to shifting needs, supporting high-bandwidth applications such as artificial intelligence, data center interconnectivity, and high-definition streaming solutions. This infrastructure enables businesses to remain competitive and grow within the rapidly changing digital economy.

Key sectors including financial services, e-commerce, logistics, and other industries requiring swift and secure data transit between Asia and major global centers will experience significant enhancements. Clients can expect improvements including:

• - Reduced Latency: Faster internet speeds and improved streaming quality.
• - Increased Reliability: Enhanced redundancy ensuring seamless business continuity.
• - Expanded Network Diversity: Effortless interconnection between TGN-IA2 and the existing TGN-IA (Tata Global Network Intra-Asia) cable system.
• - Robust Digital Ecosystem: A sustainable base for digital services and applications.

Genius Wong, Executive Vice President of Core and Next-Gen Connectivity Services and CTO at Tata Communications, stated, "We remain committed to investing in cutting-edge subsea cable systems to meet the growing demand for scalable, diverse, and high-performing connectivity solutions for our clients. Whether you are a cloud service provider expanding in Asia, a multinational seeking low-latency connectivity across continents, or a digital enterprise scaling globally, TGN-IA2 will serve as the foundation for your future. This enhancement fortifies Tata Communications as a global leader in smart, secure, and scalable connectivity and cross-border innovation."
