Technology & capacity
TGN-Atlantic was built by Tyco Telecommunications (now SubCom) and equipped with Ciena technology after a 100G coherence upgrade. The system has eight fiber pairs distributed over two cables.
- 8 fiber pairs on two cables: Up to approx. 50 Tbit/s design capacity after 100G upgrade
- Ciena GeoMesh 100G coherent: First implementation of this technology on the TGN network (2013)
- Two physically separate cable routes: Built-in route diversity at no extra charge
- NJFX direct connections: Interconnects to Seabras-1 (Brazil) and HAVFRUE (Scandinavia).
Provider Overview
SAVECALL as access to Tata TGN-Pacific
TGN-Atlantic offers something that is rare in the transatlantic market: a fully private cable system with built-in routing diversity, a single owner and no consortium structure. This makes negotiation more direct and capacity models more flexible. SAVECALL has direct partnerships with Tata Communications and sources wholesale capacity on TGN-Atlantic without intermediaries. We understand the differences between the two cable routes, the interconnect options at the NJFX landing point and the available IRU and leased capacity structures. For companies with transatlantic bandwidth needs and an interest in true route redundancy, TGN-Atlantic is one of the most attractive options on the market:
The result for our customers:
- Direct capacity access to TGN-Atlantic without reseller chains
- Negotiation of IRU structures and leased capacity models
- Transparent price benchmarking against all available alternatives
- True route diversity thanks to built-in dual-route architecture
- Clear SLAs and ongoing capacity management

Frequently asked questions about the Tata TGN-Atlantic cable
Tata TGN-Atlantic consists of two physically separate submarine cables, both connecting Wall Township in New Jersey (USA) to Highbridge in Somerset (UK). Both cables use different routes across the North Atlantic, providing built-in route diversity within a single system. The combined total length of both cables is around 13,000 kilometers.
The system has eight fibre pairs distributed across two cables and, in 2013, became the first system on the TGN network to be upgraded to Ciena GeoMesh 100G coherent technology. This gives TGN-Atlantic a design capacity of up to 50 Tbit/s, many times its original capacity of 5.12 Tbit/s at launch in 2001.
TGN-Atlantic has been in service since 2001 and is wholly owned by Tata Communications, with no consortium partners. The system was originally built by Tyco Telecommunications, now known as SubCom. The cable is part of Tata’s roughly 210,000-kilometer global network of its own deep-sea fibre.
All three systems connect the US to Europe, but they differ significantly. TGN-Atlantic is the only fully private system offering two physically separate cable routes in a single product. Amitié offers the highest capacity of any transatlantic cable at up to 400 Tbit/s. MAREA stands out for its southern route via Bilbao. The right choice depends on location, budget and redundancy strategy.
Unlike most cable systems, redundancy on TGN-Atlantic is built into the product itself: two physically separate cables connect the same endpoints via different subsea paths. This gives companies resilience without needing to procure a completely separate cable system. The NJFX landing point in New Jersey also provides direct interconnects to further cables toward Brazil and Scandinavia.
SAVECALL has direct partnerships with Tata Communications and sources wholesale capacity on TGN-Atlantic without intermediaries. We understand the differences between the two cable routes, the interconnect options at the NJFX landing point, and the available IRU and leased capacity structures.
