Shares of Tejas Networks surged more than 8% in early trade on Wednesday after the company announced the launch of its next-generation optical transport platform, the TJ1600-D3, at the global telecom event Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona, Spain.
The product was officially unveiled by Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, who currently heads the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry for Development of the North Eastern Region, highlighting India’s growing role in advanced telecom infrastructure technologies.
The TJ1600-D3 is a new WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) optical transport system designed to address the rapidly increasing demand for ultra-high-capacity data center interconnections worldwide. With the exponential rise in cloud computing, AI workloads, and global data traffic, telecom operators and large enterprises are increasingly looking for scalable optical networking solutions capable of handling terabit-scale data transfers.
According to the company, the platform is powered by the latest digital signal processors (DSPs) and advanced chipsets that enable extremely high data throughput while maintaining carrier-grade reliability and energy efficiency. The system supports both performance-optimized and power-optimized traffic sleds, allowing operators to tailor the configuration based on network requirements.
The TJ1600-D3 offers flexible line rates ranging from 400G to 1.2T per wavelength and can scale up to 51.2 Tbps of total shelf capacity. This capability enables telecom operators, hyperscalers, and enterprises to build high-capacity optical transport networks capable of supporting next-generation digital services.
