Tata Communications integrates TGN-IA2 submarine cable system into its networking infra
NEW DELHI: Homegrown telecom company Tata Communications said it has integrated the TGN-IA2 submarine cable system, developed by the Asia Direct Cable (ADC) consortium, into its existing networking infrastructure to offer scalable bandwidth and high-capacity data transfers to enterprises, service providers, and hyperscalers. The cable connects Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan and complements the existing TGN-IA cable system by offering interconnections to other regions. Tata Communications further said that the integration of the TGN-IA2 submarine cable system into its networking fabric will enable its customers to leverage diverse and resilient connectivity solutions from a single provider in their intra-Asia networks. The integration will also facilitate connectivity solutions from Asia into key geographies, including the US; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA); and India. The ADC is a global consortium of telecom carriers and technology companies, including NT (Thailand), China Telecom, China Unicom, PLDT Inc., Singtel , SoftBank Corp., Tata Communications and Viettel. The development is expected to significantly benefit customers from financial services, e-commerce, logistics, and any sector that depends on fast, secure data transit between Asia and major global hubs. Tata Communications operates multiple terabytes of capacities across its over 5 lakh km global subsea optical fibre network. This includes TGN-TIC, TGN-EA (Eurasia), TGN-Gulf, TGN-P (Pacific), TGN-A (Atlantic) and others. 'At Tata Communications, we remain steadfast in our commitment to investing in cutting-edge subsea cable systems to meet our customers' growing demands for scalable, diverse, and high-performance connectivity solutions,' said Genius Wong, executive vice president (core and next-gen connectivity services) and chief technology officer (CTO), Tata Communications.

Tata Communications announces TGN-IA2 subsea cable linking Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan to enhance connectivity
TIL Creatives Representative Image Tata Communications, on Tuesday, announced the TGN-IA2 subsea cable system to enhance connectivity for businesses across Asia. The cable connects Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan and complements the existing TGN-IA cable system by offering interconnections to other regions. The system is constructed by the Asia Direct Cable (ADC) consortium, of which, half-a-fibre pair is fully operated and managed by Tata Communications. This allows the company to independently manage capacity upgrades and make faster provisioning for customers. The ADC is a global consortium of leading communications and technology companies, including NT (Thailand), China Telecom, China Unicom, PLDT Inc., Singtel, SoftBank Corp., Tata Communications and multi-terabits capacity TGN-IA2 cable is expected to significantly enhance data transfer capabilities and offer diverse, scalable bandwidth solutions to hyperscalers, multinational corporations, and telecom Communications operates multiple terabytes of capacities across its 500,000+ km round-the-globe subsea optical fibre network. This includes TGN-TIC, TGN-EA (Eurasia), TGN-Gulf, TGN-P (Pacific), TGN-A (Atlantic) and others. The Asia-Pacific region, particularly Southeast Asia, is now a global data transmission hub, with growing subsea investments from companies like Meta, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. The region is witnessing a rapid build-out of hyperscale data centres, and submarine cables are critical to ensuring low-latency, high-throughput links between these to Telegeography, the global demand for international bandwidth is growing at over 30% annually, and Asia accounts for a significant share of this surge. Countries like India, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines are now key landing points for such cables, facilitating digital trade and cloud infrastructure has recently seen large commitments in this space. For instance, Google is set to commission its Blue-Raman submarine cable system in Mumbai this year. Last month, Meta announced the 'Waterworth' project—the world's longest subsea cable connecting five continents with landings in India. Japan's NTT Data is also set to commission MIST - its first submarine cable system connecting Malaysia, India, Singapore and Thailand, entailing a total investment of $400 million. Meanwhile, telecom operator Bharti Airtel has landed SEA-ME-WE-6 and 2Africa Pearls cables on Indian shores this year. Reliance Jio is also set to commission the India-Asia-Express (IAX) and India-Europe-Express (IEX) submarine cable systems, expanding the country's existing capacity significantly.

Tata Communications launches TGN-IA2 submarine cable to strengthen global connectivity
By Aman Shukla Published on June 3, 2025, 10:35 IST Tata Communications has integrated a new submarine cable system, TGN-IA2, into its global network infrastructure. Developed through the Asia Direct Cable (ADC) consortium, TGN-IA2 enhances the company's Intra-Asia connectivity with high-capacity data transfer, scalable bandwidth solutions, and multiple route options. This integration strengthens Tata Communications' ability to offer reliable and diverse connectivity across Asia, supporting the increasing demand for data-driven services and applications. The TGN-IA2 cable system connects seamlessly with Tata Communications' existing infrastructure, enabling direct and resilient data pathways between Asia and major global regions such as the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India. This connectivity supports critical digital services across a broad spectrum of industries, including financial services, e-commerce, and logistics, where low latency and secure, consistent performance are essential. Unlike traditional consortium-based cable systems, TGN-IA2 allows Tata Communications to maintain full control over end-to-end capacity upgrades. This approach provides operational flexibility and accelerates service delivery timelines, allowing customers to quickly adapt to dynamic business requirements. The cable's integration enhances the network's ability to support modern applications including artificial intelligence workloads, data center interconnects, and high-definition content delivery. TGN-IA2 also complements the existing TGN-IA (Tata Global Network Intra-Asia) system, expanding route diversity and improving the overall resilience of Tata Communications' infrastructure in the region. This development aligns with the increasing need for secure, high-speed connectivity across Asia and between Asia and the world's major digital hubs.
