Reliance Globalcom to install 100G internet network [Infrastructure] [Times of India](Times of India Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) MUMBAI: Reliance Globalcom today announced that it is upgrading its European network with coherent 100G technology. Part of the European network connecting Marseilles, London, Paris and Frankfurt is planned to be upgraded with 100G wavelength technology by end of 2012. Reliance Globalcom will be using Ciena's 6500 Packet Optical Platform and WaveLogic coherent optical processors to deploy the network. With the upgraded network, the company will be able to support bandwidth intensive applications like cloud computing, video conferencing, business continuity/disaster recovery, data centre connectivity, storage area networking and internet traffic. The new 100G technology enables Reliance Globalcom to send up to 2.5 times more data over its existing fibre network with 40G technology and reduces the overall cost per Terabit on its network. It also enables tighter integration with its recently deployed Terabit internet routers at higher capacities while providing improved granularity. "The 100G deployment will enable significant bandwidth scalability, flexibility, and improved performance, while reducing the overall costs for our customers", said Punit Garg, president & CEO, Reliance Globalcom.
