HELPING TO DEVELOP THE WORLD’S LARGEST IP
NETWORK USING SUBMARINE CABLE SYSTEMS
—Reliance Globalcom—
Reliance Globalcom (formerly FLAG Telecom) provides a full line of
telecommunications services in Asia. Affiliated with India’s largest
business conglomerate, the Group boasts a base of over 35 million
customers worldwide, placing it among Asia’s top ten telecommuni-
cations carriers by number of customers.
Since 2003, Fujitsu has been the partner of choice for Reliance
Globalcom in a series of projects to expand a backbone submarine
cable network stretching across Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Mediter-
ranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Fujitsu has earned high marks for
its ability to respond flexibly during the projects through prompt
system delivery in step with growing cable demand, as well as for the
outstanding stability of the systems delivered.
For the construction of Reliance Globalcom’s global Next-
Generation Network (NGN), Fujitsu was selected based on its cutting-
edge photonics technology, its wealth of experience—with over
2,000 repeaters supplied—and a reputation for high reliability built
upon a zero malfunction rate over the past 38 years.
Fujitsu’s fiber optic submarine cable systems will serve as the back-
bone of Reliance Globalcom’s global NGN, which is designed to meet
rising worldwide demand for bandwidth as a result of the increasing
transmission volume of video and other multimedia services. When all
system segments are completed, Reliance Globalcom’s global network will span 115,000 kilometers, nearly double its current
length of 65,000 kilometers, and will become the world’s largest IP network using submarine cable systems.
Fujitsu is committed to contributing to the expansion and construction of global NGNs and meeting customer needs,
thereby building a solid position as an infrastructure supplier in the field of advanced broadband communications.
