Mumbai: Tata Communications and Amazon Web Services (AWS) have launched a new long-distance network connecting key data infrastructure hubs in India to support AI and machine learning operations at scale.
In one of Tata Communications’ largest network deployments to date, the company is building a national long-haul network that links AWS infrastructure across Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Chennai. The initiative aims to create an AI-ready backbone designed specifically for high-performance computing, including generative AI, 5G, and data-intensive workloads.
The collaboration integrates Tata Communications’ high-capacity fibre network with AWS’s existing cloud infrastructure. AWS currently operates two data centre regions in Mumbai and Hyderabad, with additional edge and Direct Connect infrastructure in Chennai. The new network will bring these together under a single high-speed, low-latency framework, with express routes for seamless AI processing and large-scale data transfers.
The network is expected to play a key role in enabling businesses to build and scale AI applications in sectors such as healthcare, finance, and education. The low-latency infrastructure will help businesses train large AI models and deploy generative AI solutions without relying on overseas servers or bandwidth.
Tata Communications executives noted that this is not just an infrastructure upgrade but a strategic move toward supporting AI adoption across India’s digital ecosystem. The company described the deployment as a “national long-distance program” built to accommodate future data demands.
AWS will continue deploying its custom network technologies on the new backbone, adding another layer of performance and security for AI and cloud applications.
