Tejas Networks (BSE: 540595, NSE: TEJASNET) today announced the launch of its next-generation Data Center Interconnect (DCI) platform, TJ1600-D3, at Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona, Spain. The product was unveiled by Jyotiraditya Scindia, Hon’ble Union Minister of Communications and Development of the North Eastern Region (DoNER).
The TJ1600-D3 is a versatile WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) optical transport solution engineered to address the rapidly increasing demand for terabit-scale data center interconnections driven by AI workloads, hyperscale cloud expansion and distributed computing architectures.
Speaking at the launch, ShriJyotiradityaScindia congratulated Tejas Networks on achieving another milestone in advanced telecom product innovation. He noted that the development reflects India’s growing R&D strength in next-generation communications technologies and reinforces the country’s position in the global technology landscape.
The TJ1600-D3 platform has been designed to support evolving traffic patterns as web-scale companies, telecom carriers and cloud providers continue to expand hyperscale data centers, AI compute clusters and edge AI deployments. These shifts are reshaping network architectures, increasing the need for compact, energy-efficient and highly scalable optical transport systems capable of handling massive volumes of data with reliability.
Arnob Roy, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director of Tejas Networks, stated that the new platform addresses the requirement for high-capacity, future-ready connectivity infrastructure. He highlighted that customers increasingly demand systems that combine scalability, power efficiency and operational resilience to support distributed and high-performance computing environments.
Powered by advanced Digital Signal Processors (DSPs) and next-generation chipsets, the TJ1600-D3 supports flexible line rates ranging from 400G to 1.2T per wavelength. The system scales up to 51.2 Tbps of total shelf capacity, enabling operators and enterprises to meet exponential bandwidth growth. It also offers performance-optimized and power-optimized traffic sled options, allowing customers to tailor deployments according to specific application requirements. Built in an optimized 3-RU form factor, the platform incorporates redundant controllers, fans and power modules, along with universal AC/DC power compatibility to ensure high availability and carrier-grade resilience.
Tejas Networks designs and manufactures high-performance wireline and wireless networking solutions for service providers, enterprises, utilities, defense and government customers across more than 75 countries. The company is part of the Tata Group, with Panatone Finvest Ltd, a subsidiary of Tata Sons Pvt Ltd, as its majority shareholder.
