Cinturion, a provider of scalable, subsea and terrestrial capacity-based network solutions spanning India, the Middle East and Europe, has officially begun construction of the Trans-Europe Asia System (TEAS). TEAS will enable new services with its unique optical capabilities to support modern data centre deployments, bringing broadband and low latency access to European, Middle East and Indian markets.
TEAS is set to offer individual fibre ownership to a broad range of customers. When completed, TEAS will offer an information superhighway of over 300 Tbps with new and diverse parallel routes between India, the Middle East, and Europe. The system consists of two diverse connections across the Mediterranean Sea continuing with two paths interlinking the Middle East, with multiple routes across the Arabian Peninsula, and a route through the Gulf of Aqaba and the Red Sea. The first new dual path system of its kind provides geographically diverse routes terminating in India. Total subsea and terrestrial network segments consist of over 19,000 km with a system ready for service date expected in Q323.
Cinturion has partnered with local in-country licensed service providers along its route to establish landing sites. The commitments include carrier-neutral facilities offering open access system rights. Fibre owners will have full flexibility around their network transmission equipment and will be able to upgrade network transmission equipment as required.
TEAS is a completely new build, introducing advanced infrastructure buried underneath secure rights of ways e.g., GCCIA high voltage distribution network, and utilizes the latest large core fiber optic glass technology that will enable future product developments capable of supporting the additional growth of advanced data services throughout the Middle East region. The homogenous fibre throughout the TEAS network allows for end-to-end lighting with uninterrupted network symmetry.
Greg Varisco, CEO of Cinturion, noted: "The TEAS project is being implemented to fulfill the demand for open access systems with fibre connectivity bridging India, the Middle East and Europe. This network will provide much needed high capacity, fibreoptic offerings to countries needing access to low latency route diversity and improved route resiliency throughout the region. TEAS will provide exceptional end-to-end capabilities not requiring any regeneration and allow for a higher degree of interconnectivity among system participants. The system significantly increases the availability of inter-region, interdata centre connectivity as compared to the traditional consortium systems provided by carriers."
Cinturion has contracted DRG Undersea Consulting, an experienced submarine engineering and project management company, and BTC Networks to provide services for the terrestrial network design and supply.
