Tata Communications Enhances Connectivity with New Submarine Cable System
On June 5, 2025, Tata Communications announces the integration of the TGN-IA2 submarine cable system into its existing network, marking a significant step in enhancing connectivity across Asia and beyond. Developed by the Asia Direct Cable (ADC) consortium, TGN-IA2 aims to provide scalable bandwidth solutions and high-capacity data transfer capabilities. This strategic move is poised to benefit a diverse range of customers, including enterprises, hyperscalers, and service providers, by facilitating robust intra-Asia network connectivity while seamlessly integrating with Tata Communications' current infrastructure.
The TGN-IA2 system connects Asia to key global regions, including the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India. With the ability to manage end-to-end capacity upgrades independently, Tata Communications enhances its provisioning speed, which is particularly advantageous for enterprises that require high-speed data for applications such as artificial intelligence, data center connectivity, and high-definition streaming. As a result, customers in sectors like financial services and e-commerce can expect improved latency, reliability, and network diversity through seamless interconnection with the existing TGN-IA system.
Genius Wong, Executive Vice President at Tata Communications, underscores the company’s commitment to investing in advanced subsea cable systems to meet the escalating demand for high-performance connectivity solutions. Positioned as a foundational element for future digital services and applications, TGN-IA2 not only reinforces Tata Communications’ stature as a global leader in secure and scalable connectivity but also supports cross-border innovation, ensuring that businesses are equipped to thrive in an increasingly digital world.
In addition to the TGN-IA2 integration, the global high-voltage (HV) cable testing market experiences dynamic changes with KINECTRICS’ recent acquisition of 10 mobile resonant test systems (RTS) from HIGHVOLT. This strategic investment positions KINECTRICS as the largest player in on-site HV cable testing, a sector expected to quadruple due to the rise of renewable energy projects. By enhancing its testing capabilities, KINECTRICS aims to meet the growing demand for reliable energy transmission and mitigate risks associated with new subsea and underground transmission networks.
The Oklahoma Corporation Commission also makes headlines as it approves the Public Service Company of Oklahoma's acquisition of the Green Country Power Plant, a move anticipated to bolster energy stability for nearly 575,000 customers in the region. This acquisition reflects a broader commitment to enhancing local energy infrastructure while generating significant community benefits, such as increased tax revenue and job creation.
