Sanjay Nayak, CEO & MD, said: "At Tejas, innovation is institutionalized and we push ourselves to come up with creative solutions for the critical technical and business problems that our customers face in the fast-paced and competitive telecom world."

Kumar N Sivarajan, CTO, Tejas, added, “Telecom operators are facing the challenges of reduced prices for their services, while needing to improve service quality and offer new data-rich services that customers want. To address this challenge, we have developed an innovative series of Carrier Ethernet technology products (ELAN), based on the latest standards. ELAN can be used to increase network capacities seamlessly and offer new revenue-generating services."

"For operators who have already invested in traditional optical networking technologies like SDH, the ELAN product allows them to upgrade SDH networks to add Carrier Ethernet capabilities with incremental capex additions. ELAN has been successfully deployed to offer virtual LAN and video distribution services in India and for packet-based backhaul of 3G/4G services across the world," Sivarajan said.Tel Corporation of India Ltd.
