Tata Communications Supercharges Global Connectivity with New Cable System

In a major advancement for network connectivity for businesses across Asia and beyond, Tata Communications, a leading global communications technology player, has announced the integration of a new submarine cable system—TGN-IA2—constructed by the Asia Direct Cable (ADC) consortium, into its existing network fabric.

Built to deliver seamless connectivity, scalable bandwidth solutions, and high-capacity data transfer across multiple routes, TGN-IA2 will enable customers—including enterprises, hyperscalers, and service providers—to leverage availability of diverse and resilient connectivity solutions from a single provider in their Intra-Asia networks.

Additionally, TGN-IA2 will seamlessly integrate with Tata Communications existing assets, facilitating connectivity solutions from Asia into key geographies, including the US; Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and India.

Unlike traditional consortium-built systems, the independence of owning and controlling end-to-end capacity upgrades on TGN-IA2 will give Tata Communications unmatched flexibility and scalability, enabling faster provisioning and business readiness for customers. Enterprises can now enjoy a best-in-class network that adapts rapidly to changing needs, supports data-intensive applications such as AI, data centre-to-data centre connectivity and high-definition streaming—empowering businesses to compete and grow in the ever-transforming digital economy.
