SEA-ME-WE 5 Completes Subsea Cable System

2017-01-04 16:56:53

 

The SEA-ME-WE 5 Consortium finished the 20,000-kilometre subsea Cable infrastructure spanning over 16 countries from Southeast Asia to Western Europe.
 
 
It is designed with a capacity of 24 Tbps on 3-fibre pairs, fully capable of accommodating the future demand of data from other bandwidth-intensive applications such as enterprise data exchange, internet TV and online gaming.
 
The SEA-ME-WE 5 submarine cable’s advanced 100Gbps technology is expected to meet the quadrupling of bandwidth demand between Europe and Asia, providing the lowest latency and further enhancing the network diversity and resilience to the heavily loaded Asia to Europe route. In contrast with other submarine Cable systems, the SEA-ME-WE 5’s main endpoints are carrier-neutral/open points-of-presence (PoPs) and not just cable landing stations (CLS).
