Huawei Marine announces the successful completion of the Boracay and Palawan Submarine Cable System (BPSCS).

Plus one for Huawei Marine, which progressively builds and consolidates its web of partners and customers around the world.

Today, the Chinese company is proud to announce the successful completion of the Boracay and Palawan Submarine Cable System
(BPSCS).  

With total length of 330 km, this Philippines domestic system consists of two segments:

·        One linking Boracay and Caticlan,

·         The other linking Taytay, Palawan and San Jose, Mindoro with a branching unit towards the island of Coron. For Globe, completion of this submarine cable system enables them to complement the modernization of their transport backbone network.

Connectikpeople has discovered that, according to the Globe Network Technical Group, this major upgrade, under the company’s $700 million nationwide modernization initiative, replaces the existing SDH microwave equipment with fiber optic technology using DWDM system in these two vital areas of growth in the Philippines.

This means, as from now, the cable rollout now forms part of the fiber optic footprint of the company, currently at 30,000 kilometers.

Connectikpeople has also observed that, the system is designed to accommodate transmission of 40 wavelengths at 40Gbps capacity per fibre pair, scalable to 100Gbps per fibre pair, sufficient bandwidth to serve customers’ data telecommunications requirements such as for 3.5G/HSPA+ and 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) services.

 “We are pleased and honoured to have played a critical part in Globe’s wider strategic program and look forward to building upon this trusted partnership that resulted in our joint success. I would like to thank Globe for trusting Huawei Marine to install this turnkey network’’. Said Mr. Nigel Bayliff, CEO of Huawei Marine.
