Info-Tech VSNL announces construction of $200-m TGN-Intra Asia cable system CHENNAI: Videsh Sanchar Nigam Ltd (VSNL) on November 1 announced that it is proceeding with the construction of the TGN-Intra Asia cable system, which will be constructed by Tyco Telecommunications (US) Inc, an industry pioneer in undersea communications technology and marine services. The TGN-Intra Asia submarine cable is a new 4 fibre pair cable system linking Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan with an additional connection to the Philippines, and potentially Vietnam. This cable will provide up to 3.8 Tbits of capacity to the rapidly growing Asia-Pacific market allowing the company's global customers doing business in and with the region to obtain additional bandwidth, increased route diversity and extended geographic al reach. The TGN-Intra Asia cable, when combined with the Tata Indicom Cable System (TIC) and the TGN-Pacific cable system (both of which are capable of supporting 7+ Tbit/s of traffic), will complete the company's multi-terabit capability from India to Asia and onward to the US. The cable will provide a direct connection from Singapore to the company's Transpacific Network in Japan, avoiding any other landing points and connecting to the TGN-Pacific cable system directly at the landing station. "This is the first and only cable system that provides a direct fibre link between Singapore and Japan," said Mr Vinod Kumar, President (Global Data Solutions). - Our Bureau
