WAN Ethernet10 GigE Fact Sheet

Ethernet is an emerging and necessary service for many of today’s global service providers, offering the freedom to choose connectivity options that best meet business needs. To date, telecommunications providers have had few options for wholesale Ethernet and have been forced to purchase bundles in smaller increments to meet their increasing bandwidth requirements.

Answering the need for high capacity Ethernet, Tata Communications introduces a wholesale 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GigE) service, available between 25 major cities in 11 countries worldwide. As a cost-effective alternative to increasingly expensive, traditional TDM networks, Ethernet provides a solution that helps providers reduce operational costs without sacrifi cing quality. 10 GigE provides a transparent pipe service with both WAN PHY and LAN PHY interface offerings.

As part of Tata Communications’ extensive portfolio of services, 10 GigE leverages Tata Communications’ global SONET/SDH network to satisfy large-scale, wholesale needs for high-speed Ethernet technology. Features of Tata Communications’ 10 GigE service include:

_ Point-to-point confi guration_ Choice of protected or unprotected circuits _ Secure, private network _ Transparent pipe_ A single, high-priority service with frames forwarded in the order received

Dedicated Service

The 10 GigE service features global reach to 25 cities in 11 countries with transparent Ethernet transport and a choice of protected or unprotected circuits. Customers’ data is isolated and travels on its own Ethernet pipe — as a truly dedicated service there is absolutely no bandwidth sharing with other customers. For additional details, refer to the data sheet on this service.

Transparent Pipe

10 GigE from Tata Communications features full-service frame transparency with no Quality of Service (QoS) restrictions so frames are forwarded in the order received, ensuring all customer traffi c fl ows in order and without restriction. Additionally, customers may choose between protected or unprotected circuits on specifi c segments or on the entire network.

Lower Cost Ethernet Interfaces

Tata Communications’ 10 GigE service provides a cost-effective alternative to Layer 1 TDM networks and works well for carriers seeking a high performance networking solution to connect remote LAN locations. Additionally, the cost-effective Ethernet ports create an ideal solution for wholesale customers with high bandwidth requirements. PoP-to-PoP availability protects customers with basic SLA performance guarantees.

WAN Ethernet

Worldwide Trans-Pacifi c and Intra-Asia Coverage

The 10 GigE service is available in key global locations that leverage Tata Communications’ continued investment in new networks; such as the new TGN-Intra Asia Cable — a 6,700 km multi-terabit cable system that connects Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan. When combined with the existing TGN-TIC and TGN-Pacifi c cable systems the TGN-Intra Asia cable system completes Tata Communications’ multi-terabit capability from India to Asia and onward to the United States. 10 GigE service integrates seamlessly with Tata Communications’ global network infrastructure and complements existing regional systems such as TGN-Atlantic, TGN-Northern Europe, TGN-Western Europe and the TGN-Eurasia network. This expansive network establishes Tata Communications as a single source provider of a fully, self-owned system of networks capable of supporting rapid provisioning and high-availability of bandwidth to customers.

Did You Know?

The 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard encompasses a number of different physical layer (PHY) standards. A networking device may support different PHY types by means of confi gurable PHY interfaces. When the 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard was developed there was much interest in 10 Gigabit Ethernet as a WAN transport, which led to the introduction of the WAN PHY concept. The WAN PHY operates at a maximum effective throughput slightly lower than the LAN PHY service, allowing it to map completely to SONET/SDH networks. In terms of number of ports shipped globally, LAN PHY ports greatly outsell WAN PHY ports. Given these economies, LAN PHY has proven to be more cost-effective than WAN PHY interfaces. Tata Communications offers both 10 GigE LAN PHY and WAN PHY services.
