Tata Restores Service

Tata Communications (VSNL) has restored a majority of its IP connectivity into the Middle East and North Africa region within 24 hours of the Egypt cable breakdown on Jan. 30, when the SEA-ME-WE 4 and other undersea cables were severed off the coast of Alexandria, Egypt.

These cables serve as the principal Internet connections between the Middle East and westward on to Europe and North America. They also connect the Indian subcontinent and South East Asia.

"VSNL is proud of the team effort that united the company’s network and operations teams across three continents to execute an ambitious recovery plan in 24 hours," says Radwan Mousalli, Tata managing director. "Our cable layout and design allowed us to survive a double cable failure as well as develop enough capacity eastward across the Pacific for the internet to reach North America and Europe."
