Sterlite Tech launches new data centre solutions to support AI infrastructure growth

Sterlite Technologies (STL), a Pune-headquartered optical and digital technology company, has announced new data centre solutions aimed at addressing the evolving requirements of infrastructure driven by Artificial Intelligence (AI). The offerings include cabling and connectivity systems tailored for hyperscalers, colocation providers, enterprises, and telecom operators.

The move comes amid growing pressure on traditional data centre infrastructure, with rising demand for faster network speeds, lower latency, and more sustainable operations. The global data centre market is expected to reach $517 billion by 2030, driven in part by the adoption of AI technologies.

The product suite includes high-performance fibre and copper cabling systems designed for buildings, campuses, and large-scale data centres. STL’s pre-terminated multi-fibre systems and high-density technologies, such as the Celesta platform, are aimed at supporting scalable and low-latency connectivity across data centres.

Rahul Puri, CEO of STL’s Optical Networking Business, said, “In today’s AI-driven era, data centre solutions are about enabling intelligence at scale.” 

We combine our technologies with customised design services to ensure that each deployment is aligned with specific needs, he added.

To support the distribution of its new solutions in India, STL has partnered with Tech Data – India, a subsidiary of TD SYNNEX. With operations in over 70 cities, Tech Data will help extend STL’s reach, facilitate market access, and provide logistical and financial support to partners.

In April, Swoop Holdings Limited partnered with STL to enhance fibre broadband connectivity for approximately 1,000 homes in Seacrest Estate, near Geraldton, Western Australia. The upgrade follows Swoop’s recent acquisition of conduit and fibre infrastructure in the area.

As part of the agreement, STL will supply optical networking and connectivity products to Swoop Infrastructure to support improved broadband access. The initiative forms part of Swoop’s broader strategy to expand its fibre broadband footprint, covering both retail and wholesale markets. The project is being led by Swoop’s Head of Infrastructure, Anthony Camilleri.

The company bagged a contract from Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), signed on June 11 (under BharatNet Phase-III) that involves the design, supply, construction, installation, upgradation, operation, and maintenance of the telecom network for the Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh telecom circles.
