Fujitsu has won part of a $1.5 billion order from Flag Telecom, the undersea cable arm of India's Reliance Communications. The Japan vendor confirmed reports of the deal published in Indian newspapers. Reuters said Fujitsu won two of four contracts in a project to lay 50,000 km of undersea fibre-optic cables spanning Europe, Africa and Asia, which will speed up Internet-based networks.

Fujitsu will handle the cable from Marseilles, France to Port Said, Egypt and another from Chennai, India to Hong Kong but no numbers were disclosed. The other two contracts have yet to be awarded and may go to Tyco, Alcatel or NEC.

Meanwhile, Fujitsu received a contract from Pacific Crossing Ltd. (PCL) to increase the trans- mission capacity of Pacific Crossing's trans-Pacific submarine cable network. Fujitsu will upgrade the PC-1 network adding an additional 200 Gbit/s of capacity on each of the four segments of the trans-Pacific network.
