Verizon Joins Consortium to Build Cable System Between Europe and India
Posted on: Wednesday, 7 May 2008, 12:00 CDT
Verizon Business has joined a consortium of 16 companies, which were building a next-generation undersea optical cable system connecting Europe, the Middle East and India.
The new system, named the Europe India Gateway, is the third major submarine cable project. The 15,000-km cable network system, which is expected to be completed in 2010, will connect three continents at a cost of more than $700 million. It will have a design capacity of up to 3.84 terabits per second.
Ihab Tarazi, vice president of global network planning at Verizon Business, said: "This new cable system will provide not only a second, diverse route from India to Europe, but also direct access to our network in Europe. Combined with our other network capabilities, we will offer our customers reduced latency, reduced provisioning time and increased reliability."
