The Huawei Marine milestones during year 2013.
Progressively, Huawei Marine a subsidiary of Huawei paves its way around
the world by enabling high-speed broadband internet connectivity.
After having connected the remote islands of Boracay and Palawan in the
Philippines, and its Silphium solution which connects Darnah in Libya with
Chania in Greece, Huawei achieved another milestone by successfully completing
the Flores-Corvo Submarine System. In fact Huawei Marine Networks Co. Ltd.
(Huawei Marine), a submarine cable networks provider, has partnered with
Viatel, Portugal's leading telecommunications engineering network supplier, to complete
the 685 kilometer cable Flores-Corvo Submarine Cable System construction.
Connectikpeople.co, has observed that, the new cable system featuring
enhanced Raman technology and advanced Submarine Line Terminal Equipment of
OptiX BWS 1600S, will provide vital communications to not only service local
demand but become an integral part of Viatel's network that includes over 100 points-of-presence
(PoPs)
based in 35 key cities.
The cable system features three diverse segments, consisting of six
landings points to provide essential links to international cable systems, such
as the cross-Atlantic Columbus3 submarine cable system, to enable a broad range
of services to be delivered to this region.
The completed Flores-Corvo Submarine Cable System now enables all nine
islands of the Archipelago of the Azores to be interconnected, with backbone
connectivity to European, African and cross-Atlantic submarine cables.
The submarine cable is designed with a 0.96 Terabit per second capacity to
provide speeds of 10 Gigabit per second (Gbps) and has the capacity to be
upgraded to 100 Gbps in the future.
