Telecommunications BSNL, Sri Lanka Telecom in pact for submarine cable project Our Bureau
New Delhi , Oct. 16 BHARAT Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL), Sri Lanka Telecom and NEC have signed an agreement to lay a submarine cable between India and Sri Lanka, at an estimated cost of Rs 80 crore. "The cable under the project will be optical fibre cable and will have a capacity of 20 Gbps initially. The proposed cable will carry data as well as video communication," a BSNL release said here. The cable would be laid between Tuticorin (India) and Mt Lavinia (Sri Lanka) and the cable distance would be about 325 km. The project, expected to be completed in eight months, would benefit both the sides, as it would carry telecom traffic not only between the two countries, but also from other countries. "Apart from this, BSNL will have its long awaited submarine cable landing station," it said.
