Alcatel Submarine Networks

Finnish network solutions provider Cinia has partnered with Japanese infrastructure firm, Arteria Networks to build a fibre optic cable system linking Europe and Asia through the Arctic region.

Eight companies have come together to build 2Africa, a subsea cable designed to serve the African continent and Middle East region.

EllaLink Ireland and Alcatel Submarine Networks have begun construction of the EllaLink Submarine Cable System – a four-fibre-pair submarine system designed to satisfy the demand for traffic between Europe and Latin America. 

Vocus Group and Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN) have signed a contract to deploy the Coral Sea Cable System – a new submarine cable designed to boost international connectivity and provide high speed telecommunications capacity to Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands.

Construction has now officially commenced on the Japan-Guam-Australia (JGA) 9,500km undersea fibre optic cable system.

JGA is being co-built by Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN), part of Nokia and the NEC Corporation. The JGA South (JGA-S) segment between Sydney, Australia and Piti, Guam, is a consortium cable, including AARNet, Google and RTI-C, whilst the JGA North (JGA-N) segment which runs between the Minami-Boso, Japan and Piti, Guam, is a private cable with RTI-C as the sole purchaser.

The Hong Kong-Americas (HKA) consortium has selected Alcatel Submarine Networks to deploy its submarine cable network, which will span more than 13,000 kilometres between Hong Kong and the US, with the objective of delivering a bandwidth boost between the two continents.
