Asia is emerging as the leading player in world economy gradually. China, Japan, India and Korea are among the countries that have largest economies in the world. So, the demand for Internet bandwidth is growing rapidly and VSNL International sis trying to emerge as a key player in this sector in Asia. It is going to start a new project and increase the capacity of its existing project to cater the growing demand of Internet in Asia. I am quoting from a report of iTWire:
“India's VSNL International is expanding its role as a major player in the global submarine cable market with plans for a new system to link key Asian destinations and an upgrade of its capacity to the US.
VSNL Singapore Pte Ltd. (VSNL International), the international arm of Videsh Sanchar Nigam Limited is to build a new multi-terabit submarine cable system linking Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan to better serve its global customers doing business in and with the burgeoning Asia-Pacific markets.
VSNL has also announce plans to upgrade its Trans-Pacific submarine cable network to a 1tbps capacity to serve increased customer demand between Asia and the US. The network connects several key US West Coast Internet and carrier exchanges directly to Japan and onward to other Asian destinations through multiple regional sub-sea cable interconnections.”
A few months ago, VSNL also announced that it was going to build a submarine cable that would connect India with Middle East and Europe. The good thing is that the demand for bandwidth will increase for many years to come and VSNL is getting skilled in submarine cable technology. This experience will help the company to compete in the global stage.
