Tata Communications Delivers WAN Connectivity To Cargotec's Global IT Systems

Tata Communications, a provider of The New World of Communications, has announced that it has been chosen by Cargotec, the global provider of cargo handling solutions for ships, ports, terminals and local distribution, to deliver Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity to over 150 Cargotec sites globally through Tata Communications’ round-the-world fibre optic cable network.

Cargotec chose Tata Communications for its comprehensive round-the-world network, which allows Cargotec to go from having multiple suppliers for its global WAN connectivity to just one. Not only does this reduce the chances of network failure, but it also delivers an always-on, cost-effective solution to cater for both Cargotec’s main offices and smaller sites, regardless of their location. Cargotec will now be able to offer a uniform service to its offices across more than 50 emerging and established markets, further enhancing global operational efficiency. It will also allow Cargotec to extend its network wherever the business grows.

Soili Mäkinen, Chief Information Officer, Cargotec, says, “Cargotec improves the efficiency of cargo flows by offering handling systems and related services for the loading and unloading of goods on land, in port and at sea. As a truly global organisation, we need our network supplier to have the infrastructure and the resources we need in all markets and geographies, which is why we chose Tata Communications.”

James Walker, Vice President, Managed Network Services, says, “The extent of a company’s global reach and operational efficiency, especially in emerging markets, is largely dependent on the connectivity available to them in those regions. With investments in infrastructure around the globe bringing us closer than ever to a truly connected world, companies should expect the same level of service and connectivity the world over. We look forward to working with Cargotec over the coming years to unlock further operational efficiencies throughout their network.”
