14 Mar Fiber Optic Cable to Enhance Asia
Will one high-performance fiber optic cable enhance connectivity?
The 10,500-kilometer fiber optic cable will be completed by the end of 2020. The cable can feature up to eight fiber pairs of high capacity optical fiber with initial style capability of one hundred forty-four Terabits per second, roughly the equivalent of streaming 5.76 million ultra-high definition videos per second. Its high capability permits it to support high information measure intensive necessities like the Internet of Things, robotics, analytics and artificial or video game applications.
There will be many companies contributing to the SJC2 cable build. The main companies include China Mobile International; Chuan Wei; Chunghwa Telecom; Facebook; KDDI; Singtel; SK Broadband; and VNPT. In addition, NEC will be the supplier for the advanced optical fiber according to a statement from NEC’s Senior Vice President Mr. Atsuo Kawamura. “NEC is honored to be selected by the SJC2 Consortium as the supplier for the most advanced optical fiber submarine cable system, landing at eleven locations across nine countries and regions. SJC2 is designed so that once completed, it can carry at least 18Tbps of capacity per fiber pair. The robust and flexible design will enable SJC2 to cope with future changes in capacity demands.”
