Tata Comm wins 2013 Ethernet Awards for APAC

Tata Communications has been awarded the Best Carrier Ethernet Business Application title at the Metro Ethernet Forum (MEF) Carrier Ethernet Awards for the Asia-Pacific region. In its second year as the Official Connectivity Provider of Formula 1, this award recognised Tata Communications’ ability to deliver world-class connectivity to all Formula 1 race locations over its network, the largest privately-owned global network in the world. 

The move to Tata Communications' fibre optic global ring of super-fast cables has given Formula One Management access to a tenfold increase in connectivity capability worldwide. This has benefited the Formula 1 community in that Formula One Management has extensive responsibilities to deliver exclusive content such as live timing data to businesses and consumers. Delivering this data over a highly reliable and fast network is of paramount importance to the viewer experience. 

Mehul Kapadia, Managing Director - F1 Business, Tata Communications, said, "As we are about to embark on our third season with Formula 1, the recognition of our work together during the 2013 season is a testament of Formula One Management’s vision to push technical boundaries that deliver an immersive digital experience for the millions of fans worldwide. Looking ahead, we are excited about the possibility of using our fibre network to support innovate new means of delivering live-race content globally."

 Tata Communications' Ethernet Services in APAC have been recognised by numerous independent organisations around the globe.
