Tata Communications has upgraded the New York-London leg of its TGN-Atlantic sub-sea cable system to 100 gigabits per second. The leg is expected to be in full service during the first half of 2013.

The New York-London leg’s earlier capacity was 40 gigabits.

The upgrade will help carriers and enterprises scale their network and meet their increasing capacity demands. It will be instrumental in increasing carrier network performance through consolidation of transport traffic.

The implementation will pave the way for further upgrades leading to multi-fold increase in bandwidth availability across Tata Communications’ Global Network, which consists of 2,10,000 km of terrestrial and sub-sea network fibre.
