TATA Sets Sail to Far-east
I was very surprised to not to get any trace of TATA Communications in the industry last three years. They became super silent in the field of new cable development and existing cable enhancement. Even we did not see any vigorous marketing drive of the company. Why??? May be the answer lies in the classical question, "Why the sky is so high?"
Before finding ADC cable news we have seen TATA to sign an agreement with the operators of east coast of Africa. TATA is one of the earliest initiator of ADC gang. If we see the brilliance and visualization power of the expansion team of TATA Com, you would be at a fix. They knew connection through IO (Indian Ocean) is getting spoiled. SMW5, BBG, AAE-1 and some of the regional cables were suffering sea sickness. Above all IAX&IEX was extra pain for them. What has happened in 2019 relating Indian Ocean, is more interesting. Once the diplomacy has been failed between google and Reliance Jio, google announced RAMON cable from Mumbai to OMAN. By June' 2019 TATA received another confirmation that all potential data of Middle East and east coast of Africa would be pumped to EC of USA and England/EU by SIMBA/2AFRICA. For the first time ADC gang find themself meaningful. In a statement Carl said “Our collaboration within ADC consortium to build this high-performance submarine cable will provide enterprises with additional connectivity between major traffic hubs in Asia. This will further augment our existing capabilities on the Tata Communications Global Network with deeper reach, enabling us to offer superior customer experience and enhanced resilience. With digital technologies steering the growth of business more than ever before, this additional capability will address the increasing bandwidth and data demands of enterprises in Asia and globally."
Now read again the statement and try to understand that TATA remained in its boundary of corporate vision. The question is why there is no problem to land number of LSs in PRC and how the business would be performed. There are two LSs , Shantou and CHK & Guangdoung Province. Why there is no problem to land ADC cable in Hong Kong which is a major problem for PLCN cable. Here comes to #3GSubmarine cable system. Considering OPEN SYSTEM is a 2G system #3G LOOP SYSTEM Sub cable would offer new horizon in the industry. ADC Cable is 9, 400KM long. Can you calculate the amount of investment in a cable which is through South China Sea, the most unstable water territory right now? ADC cable is going to be another successful milestone in the submarine cable industry.
According to Kriss, “We do not have any plan to build a cable in IO. We are using existing capacity of third party." In reality within one year it is found that GOOGLE is investing USD400 in IO. Why. Assignment. Do your homework and find yourself.
