TE SubCom has completed construction of the TGN-EA (Jeddah) and TGN-Gulf undersea cables for Tata Communications.
TGN-EA (Jeddah) connects Saudi Arabia, Egypt and India, while TGN-Gulf links Oman, India, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Bahrain.
Both TGN-EA (Jeddah) and TGN-Gulf are high-capacity, multi terabit systems that will add diversity to Tata Communications’ existing undersea network infrastructure and connect it to key business hubs in the region.
“Demand for capacity in the Middle East has increased significantly in recent years and the time could not be better for us to expand our global network of undersea cables and continue to support business and economic development,” said Radwan Moussalli, managing director, Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Tata Communications. “Both TGN-EA (Jeddah) and TGN-Gulf will encourage broadband penetration, enable robust internet services and support enterprise communications throughout the region.”
