Telecom Lead India: Reliance Globalcom has launched 10G
LAN PHY, a dedicated Ethernet point-to-point service, as a standard service
offering across all the major destinations on its global network.
Reliance Globalcom is providing cost effective 10 Gig
Ethernet based solutions with improved manageability.
The company is offering 10G LAN PHY services across 19
global cities on Reliance Globalcom’s FA-1, FNAL, Falcon, FEA and Hawk cable
systems.
Its wholesale customers can interconnect their Internet
routers with less expensive 10G Ethernet / LAN PHY interfaces, instead of
utilizing the legacy STM64/OC192 interfaces, reducing the costs on Internet
services.
10G LAN PHY service uses ITU-T G.709 standard and
operates at a line rate of 10.31 Gbps against 9.95 Gbps on a standard 10G,
thereby also offering a higher user data speed. The new capability enables its
customers to upgrade from their existing Gigabit services to 10G speeds without
forklift upgrades on their equipment.
Punit Garg, president & CEO, Reliance Globalcom, said
the capability to support 10G LAN PHY services across network enabled the
company to significantly lower cost alternative to customers compared to the
legacy SDH/SONET based 10G interfaces.
It enables Reliance customers to utilize the new
generation multi-Terabit Ethernet routers which are 85 to 90 percent cheaper
compared to traditional TDM based routers with comparable capacities, and
leverage upon the cost-effective and familiar Ethernet technology to build and
grow large IP backbones and Internet content or storage networks.
