Tejas Networks announced the launch of its next-generation Data Center Interconnect (DCI) platform, TJ1600-D3, a versatile WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) optical transport product designed to address the rapidly growing demand for terabit-scale data center connectivity worldwide.
The product was officially unveiled by Union Minister for Communications and Development of North Eastern Region, Jyotiraditya Scindia, at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026 in Barcelona, Spain.
Speaking at the launch, Jyotiraditya Scindia congratulated Tejas Networks for developing advanced telecom technology suited for an AI-powered digital ecosystem. He noted that the innovation highlights the company’s strong R&D capabilities and strengthens India’s position in global technology innovation.
Arnob Roy, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director of Tejas Networks, said that data traffic patterns have changed significantly in recent years due to the rapid expansion of large-scale data centers, AI compute clusters, and edge AI infrastructure by webscale companies, telecom carriers, and cloud providers. This shift is reshaping network architectures and increasing the need for compact, energy-efficient, and highly scalable networking solutions capable of handling massive data volumes. He added that the TJ1600-D3 platform is designed as a future-ready solution to meet these evolving connectivity needs.
The TJ1600-D3 is powered by the latest digital signal processors (DSPs) and advanced chipsets, delivering high capacity, carrier-grade reliability, and strong energy efficiency. The platform supports flexible line rates ranging from 400G to 1.2T per wavelength and can scale up to 51.2 Tbps of total shelf capacity.
Additionally, the system features redundant controllers, fans, and power modules, along with universal AC/DC power compatibility, ensuring high service resilience within an optimized 3-RU form factor. The platform is designed to support performance-optimized and power-efficient traffic configurations for telecom operators and enterprises managing large-scale data connectivity.
