Tata group company, Tata Communications, will soon start delivering capacity into Australia via the privately-owned PIPE Pacific 1 (PPC-1) cable system.
PPC-1 is a new two-fiber-pair cable system connecting the US territory of Guam to Sydney, Australia, according to a press release issued here today.
The cable system spans 6,900-kilometres and can provide up to 2.56 terabytes per second of capacity to the rapidly-growing Australian market.
The PPC-1 cable system will be Australia's first carrier-neutral cable to offer city-to-city capacity, overcoming the need for expensive back haul connections into Sydney.
PPC-1 introduces a new cost-effective high-speed connectivity option to and from Australia, and will enable diversity from the older generation AJC and Southern Cross cable systems.
The PPC-1 cable system lands directly into Tata Communications Guam cable landing station allowing seamless integration of the cable with the Tata Global Network (TGN).
This enables connectivity from Sydney to the rest of the world via Tata Communications extensive sub-sea cable network including TGN-Intra Asia to the Asian region, and TGN-Pacific for onward connectivity from Japan to the USA.
"The partnership between Tata Communications and PIPE Networks extends the PPC-1 cable system from Australia to the rest of the world, adding much-needed route diversity and carrier neutrality to this growing market. We are pleased that our plans for global leadership in the submarine cable network have been pushed up another notch," Tata Communications' Vice-President for International Network Development Simon Cooper said.
