Tata Adds New Subsea Cable to Boost Asia Connectivity

03 Jun 2025 CW Team

The TGN-IA2 system is designed to offer high-capacity data transfer, scalable bandwidth, and seamless connectivity for enterprises, hyperscalers, and service providers seeking robust intra-Asia and intercontinental network solutions. Its integration with Tata Communications’ existing assets provides a unified platform for diversified, low-latency, and resilient global connectivity.

Unlike conventional consortium-based cables, Tata Communications maintains full ownership and operational control of TGN-IA2’s capacity upgrades. This grants the company unmatched flexibility in provisioning services, resulting in faster delivery and higher agility for business-critical operations.

The TGN-IA2 network supports advanced digital requirements including artificial intelligence, data centre interconnectivity, and high-definition streaming. It is also well-positioned to benefit sectors like financial services, logistics, e-commerce, and any industry reliant on secure and rapid data transmission between Asia and major international hubs.

Key benefits for customers include:

Reduced latency, improving internet and streaming speeds
Enhanced network reliability and continuity through built-in redundancy
Expanded infrastructure diversity with seamless integration with Tata’s earlier TGN-IA cable
A future-proof platform ready to support evolving digital applications

“This expansion underscores our ongoing investment in world-class subsea systems to meet the surging demand for fast, secure, and scalable global connectivity,” said Genius Wong, Executive Vice President – Core and Next-Gen Connectivity Services & CTO at Tata Communications. “TGN-IA2 is not just an infrastructure milestone, but a strategic foundation empowering digital transformation and growth across borders.”

With this enhancement, Tata Communications reinforces its position as a key player in next-generation global communications, delivering smart, secure, and scalable network solutions for the digital economy.

Tata Communications has announced a major expansion of its global network infrastructure with the integration of the TGN-IA2 submarine cable system, constructed by the Asia Direct Cable (ADC) consortium.
