RIL joins hands with Bharti for data capacity on submarine cable

MUMBAI: Bharti Airtel Limited, a global telecom services provider with operations in 20 countries across Asia and Africa, and Reliance Jio Infocomm Limited on Tuesday announced signing an indefeasible right to use (IRU) agreement, under which Bharti will provide Reliance Jio data capacity on its i2i submarine cable.


i2i connects India to Singapore and is wholly owned by Bharti. The cable consists of eight fiber pairs using DWDM, capable of supporting multiple terabits of capacity per fiber pair. Its landing points are at Chennai in India and Tuas in Singapore, said a joint statement by Bharti & Reliance Jio adding that Reliance Jio will utilize a dedicated fiber pair on i2i.

The high speed link will enable Reliance Jio to extend its network and service reach to customers across Asia Pacific region. It will connect Reliance Jio directly to the world's major business hubs and ISPs, thereby, helping the operator to meet the bandwidth demand and provide ultra-fast data experience to its customers, the statement added.
