The new submarine optical cable will deliver a 100 Tbps broadband rate to Hawaii.
2022-05-16
According to Hawaiian Telecom, the new undersea fiber-optic cable has the capacity to transmit 4 million high-definition movies simultaneously.
“Trans-Pacific cables have been providing telecommunications services to Hawaii for over 50 years,” said Daniel Masutomi, Director of Submarine Engineering and Network Optimization at Hawaiian Telecom. “However, most of these cables have already reached the end of their service life, and the few remaining submarine cables are either nearing the end of their lifespan or have already exceeded their maximum capacity.”
The 9,000-mile undersea cable system connecting Indonesia, the Philippines, Guam, Hawaii, and California will help meet the exponential growth in demand for internet services. Seven companies have formed the Southeast Asia–U.S. Alliance (SEA-US) to build the cable.
Hawaii Telecom stated that the submarine optical cable is expected to remain in commercial operation for at least 25 years. It can withstand strong ocean currents, severe storms, and harsh saline environments.
The Southeast Asia-U.S. Submarine Optical Cable Will Be Utilized 100G The BPS technology delivers a capacity of 20 Tbps. According to Hawaiian Telecom, with a capacity of 20 Tbps, internet users could download approximately 4,000 DVDs in just one second—or all the printed books in the Library of Congress in half a second.
“We are proud to be part of the most technologically advanced trans-Pacific cable system, which will meet the growing broadband demand between Asia and the Americas,” said Scott Barber, President and CEO of Hawaiian Telecom. “This landmark cable system ensures that Hawaiian Telecom can cost-effectively support the bandwidth needs driven by cloud computing, streaming video, the Internet of Things, and the innovation and economic growth that are boosting both Hawaii residents and businesses.”
Hawaii Telecom, Manila Global Telecommunications, Tamuning, GTA in Guam, GTI in Los Angeles, RTI in San Francisco, Telin in Indonesia, and Telkom USA in Los Angeles own and operate this submarine optical cable project.
Hawaii Telecom stated that the company’s decision to invest in a new cable system is aimed at ensuring uninterrupted internet access in Hawaii, as the existing undersea cables are set to reach the end of their lifespan. The company noted that a 2013 study by the University of Hawaii and Johns Hopkins University indicated that some of the island’s current undersea cables are expected to become obsolete by the mid-2020s.
Hawaii Telecom is investing 25 million U.S. dollars in this submarine optical cable project.
