LONDON: FLAG Telecom, a Reliance Infocomm company, today confirmed that orders for wavelength capacity on its trans-Atlantic optical fibre submarine cable has increased by more than 500 per cent quarter on quarter in the first half of 2005.
So far this year FLAG has signed major contracts for additional capacity with six international carriers and one global Internet content provider.
Chris Wood, FLAG's VP Marketing, said in a statement, “Volume growth has been driven by the increased use of broadband services by businesses and by the deployment of ever faster delivery speeds of 2Mbits/s and beyond to the home.”
