Reliance Globalcom upgrades Its Global Network

Reliance Globalcom has announced availability of 10G LAN PHY, a dedicated Ethernet point-to-point service, as a standard service offering across all the major destinations on its global network.

10G LAN PHY services are now available across 19 global cities on Reliance Globalcom's FA-1, FNAL, Falcon, FEA and Hawk cable systems that will enable its wholesale customers to interconnect their Internet routers with less-expensive 10G Ethernet / LAN PHY interfaces. 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.

"We have successfully upgraded our global network and built capability to support 10G LAN PHY services across our network, which offer a significantly lower cost alternative to our customers compared to the legacy SDH/SONET-based 10G interfaces. It enables our customers to utilize the new-generation multi-Terabit Ethernet routers which are 85% to 90% 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," said PunitGarg, President & CEO, Reliance Globalcom.
