Tata Communications partners with AWS to build an advanced AI-ready network in India, connecting major AWS infrastructure sites to support data-hungry workloads such as AI/ML. The new fibre network will offer ultra-low latency for compute-intensive tasks, with an estimated completion date by the end of 2026, boosting innovation in critical sectors.

Global telcos like Lumen and Zayo are investing heavily in upgrading their terrestrial networks to meet the growing demand for data traffic due to AI. Lumen plans to quadruple its fibre network and launch a Private Connectivity Fabric, while Zayo is constructing new route miles and completing a 400G network upgrade in North America to enhance connectivity for hyperscalers and data center providers.

Carriers worldwide, such as Orange in Europe and Africa and Telstra in the Asia Pacific region, are expanding their fibre networks to support increasing workloads from tech giants and meet the demand for faster, more reliable connectivity. The rise of AI is driving the need for high-capacity, intelligent networks to meet the processing needs and low latency requirements of AI workloads, reshaping network performance expectations.
