MUMBAI: Powertel, the telecom arm of Power Grid Corporation of India, has tapped Tejas Networks to supercharge its pan-India DWDM network with a lightning-fast 400Gb per second upgrade. The project marks another major milestone for the Bengaluru-based tech player, which will design, supply, install, and integrate a next-generation SDN-based DWDM system across new and existing sites.
Tejas will roll out its flagship multi-terabit TJ1600 DWDM/OTN platform, capable of delivering up to a staggering 1.2Tb per second per wavelength while supporting the cutting-edge alien wavelength technology, a feature that allows seamless data transmission over third-party systems.
Tejas Networks chief operating officer and executive director Arnob Roy said, “We are delighted to extend our partnership with Powertel to expand their backbone capacity and meet the surging demand for high-speed connectivity from data centres, telcos, government and enterprises. Our alien wavelength solution provides a cost-efficient way to scale bandwidth while ensuring diversity and speed to market.”
A part of the Tata Group, Tejas Networks designs and manufactures high-performance networking products for telecom, defence, utilities, and government clients in over 75 countries. With this upgrade, Powertel’s network is set to handle India’s growing data surge with more power, precision and, quite literally, a better connection.
