Equipped with OTU-4 (Optical Transport Unit), a next-generation optical technology, TGN-Gulf cable system will enable customers with a robust, consistent, and manageable data transport infrastructure with the capability to scale up beyond 100 Gbps. With this, Tata Communications and BIX bring the power of high-speed connectivity and digital transformation to the Middle East region.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To extend the TGN-Gulf cable system deep into business districts within the Middle East, Tata Communications is leveraging its strong partnership with leading carriers across the region such as Oman, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia, to offer a true carrier neutral comprehensive cable system. This will provide Middle East businesses, especially the OTTs, gaming companies, government agencies and hyperscalers who are expanding their reach in the region, access to the globe. The cable system seamlessly integrates the Middle East countries and offers direct forward connectivity to Europe, India and onwards to the globe. Specifically in India, it integrates into the deeply penetrated Optical Transport Network that covers 2000+ towns and 25+ business districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKeeping pace with Bahrain\u2019s growing bandwidth requirements, the country needs new cable systems that are of high speed, well-laid and help bring global content closer to the country\u201d, said&nbsp;<strong>Shaima Al Hamed, Executive Director, Bahrain Internet Exchange (BIX)<\/strong>. \u201cBIX is excited to combine its regional expertise with Tata Communications global presence to offer end customers a technically superior submarine cable system that opens access to both the East and West parts of the world. The next generation OTU-4 technology supported by TGN helps our customers create an intelligent Software Defined Network (SDN) enabling them to serve their customers. This is a great value-add, not just for our customers but also for our country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are happy to further strengthen our partnership with BIX in Bahrain and bring the latest technology to support data intensive consumer applications like e-commerce, online gaming, mobile and internet banking, industrial automation and Internet of Things (IoT) requiring extremely reliable high-capacity networks, said&nbsp;<strong>Vaneet Mehta, Region Head, Middle East, Central Asia &amp; Africa, Tata Communications<\/strong>. \u201cThis will give our global customers and partners in Bahrain open access to our TGN-Gulf cable system with high-capacity low latency data transmissions across the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa and European regions. Our latest OTU-4 technology upgrade is also a step in the direction to continue focusing on strengthening and providing the Government and enterprises an ecosystem of holistic solutions. It also opens access to a technically superior submarine cable system that provides Bahrain a reliable, scalable, flexible, and secure infrastructure to collectively collaborate and smoothly function in a contactless work environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For enterprises, the superior OTU-4 technology on the TGN cable system provides flexibility to future-proof and create a software-defined network (SDN), while still being compatible with legacy systems. It also helps enterprises adopt edge computing and make use of cloud express connect, to link to different cloud nodes in and out of Bahrain. Furthermore, it will also enhance the performance and stability of the enterprises\u2019 data, voice, and video applications at shorter round-trip delay (RTD). With reliable connectivity and bandwidth enterprises will accelerate their digital transformation journeys making for the country\u2019s ecosystem to evolve towards a digital economy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tata Communications owns and operates the world\u2019s only wholly owned subsea network that encircles the globe. This network enables businesses to reach more than 200 countries and territories.
