Tata Communications and Seaborn Networks have announced Tata Communications’ intent to become an anchor tenant customer on Seaborn Networks’ cable system. Seaborn Network’s cable system, Seabras-1, will enable Tata Communications to provide fully integrated network services from Brazil to its networks in the US, Europe, Africa, Asia and India.
Vinod Kumar, MD & CEO, Tata Communications said, “Latin America is a key region on the world stage and our plan to purchase capacity on Seabras-1 would ensure we have the fastest route between Brazil’s major commercial centre and the US. It aligns us with the most viable new subsea project in one of the fastest growing markets in the world. This expansion would further extend the global reach of the Tata Global Network (TGN) and forms part of our strategic global connectivity plans.”
Larry Schwartz, CEO, Seaborn Networks said, “With bandwidth and connectivity growth demand in Latin America at unprecedented levels, we look forward to having Tata Communications as an anchor tenant customer. Tata Communications’ intended acquisition of capacity on Seabras-1 is indicative of the pent-up demand in the market for an express submarine cable route between the US and Sao Paulo.”
