  Reliance Globalcom has announced the upgrade of its Trans-Atlantic FA-1 South submarine network with Ciena Corporation’s GeoMesh solution. This upgrade will help Reliance Globalcom to better address growing global bandwidth demand for cloud computing, video and other high-bandwidth services, along the critical Trans-Atlantic corridor.

With Ciena’s GeoMesh solution Reliance Globalcom will have trans-Atlantic submarine networks capable of supporting OTN-based client services from OTU2 (10G) to OTU4 (100G). It will allow Reliance Globalcom to provide 100GbE services between continental points of presence (PoPs) – whether a large data center or a central office. Reliance Globalcom will also benefit from Ciena’s Specialist Services portfolio, specifically for installation, integration, testing and support.

Punit Garg, President & CEO, Reliance Globalcom, said, “Ciena’s unique GeoMesh solution enables us to quickly and significantly increase the information-carrying capacity across our critical FA-1 submarine cable network while eliminating complexity and latency along the critical corridor serving data centers in New York and Paris. We can also seamlessly merge our submarine and terrestrial networks together, from our New York PoP to our Paris PoP, which was not possible in the past. Our strategic relationship with Ciena continues to grow – largely a result of their deep understanding of advanced networking and their innate ability to introduce creative new ways to design high-performance global networks.”

  Reliance Globalcom has announced that it is upgrading its European Network with coherent 100G technology.  Reliance Globalcom, which boasts international subsea cable assets spanning over 73,000 Route Kilometers, will be using Ciena's 6500 Packet Optical Platform and WaveLogic coherent optical processors to deploy the 100G network.  Part of the European network connecting Marseilles, London, Paris and Frankfurt is planned to be upgraded with 100G wavelength technology by the end of 2012.

The upgraded network will enable Reliance Globalcom to support the surge in high-bandwidth intensive applications that encompass cloud computing, video conferencing, business continuity/disaster recovery, data center connectivity, and storage area networking, in addition to ever-increasing Internet traffic. It will also enable Reliance Globalcom to offer more flexibility and improved performance to its customers.

The new 100G technology enables Reliance Globalcom to send up to 2.5 times more data over its existing fiber network with 40G technology, reduces the overall cost per Terabit on its network, and enables tighter integration with its recently deployed Terabit Internet routers at higher capacities while providing improved granularity. 

“The 100G deployment will enable significant bandwidth scalability, flexibility and improved performance, while reducing the overall costs for our customers,” said Punit Garg, President & CEO, Reliance Globalcom.

  Reliance Globalcom has announced availability of 10G LAN PHY, a dedicated Ethernet point-to-point service, as a standard service offering across all the major destinations on its global network.

10G LAN PHY services are now available across 19 global cities on Reliance Globalcom's FA-1, FNAL, Falcon, FEA and Hawk cable systems that will enable its wholesale customers to interconnect their Internet routers with less-expensive 10G Ethernet / LAN PHY interfaces. 10G LAN PHY service uses ITU-T G.709 standard and operates at a line rate of 10.31 Gbps against 9.95 Gbps on a standard 10G, thereby also offering a higher user data speed.

"We have successfully upgraded our global network and built capability to support 10G LAN PHY services across our network, which offer a significantly lower cost alternative to our customers compared to the legacy SDH/SONET-based 10G interfaces. It enables our customers to utilize the new-generation multi-Terabit Ethernet routers which are 85% to 90% cheaper compared to traditional TDM-based routers with comparable capacities, and leverage upon the cost-effective and familiar Ethernet technology to build and grow large IP backbones and Internet content or storage networks," said PunitGarg, President & CEO, Reliance Globalcom.

Punit Garg, President & CEO, Reliance Globalcom said, "Video Conferencing, besides being a green technology, has immense potential in today's connected world. However, its adoption by organizations is often restrained by time-consuming, multi-vendor management by one or several IT teams. Our managed service is aimed at making video conferencing usage simple and effective, thereby facilitating increased adoption. In the business context, video is also the logical next step for us since; we already have strong presence in audio and data domains globally. In India, Reliance has been the pioneer of Video Conferencing, and over the last seven years, it has changed the way organizations conduct business."
