The Pacific's Highest Capacity Subsea Cable Ever Is RFS: Meet Juno

Juno is the Queen of the Olympian gods in Roman Mythology. This 20 fibre pair cable has design capacity of 320 Tbps, which makes it the highest capacity subsea network to connect the US to Asia. It lands at Grover Beach, California, and also has Japanese landings at Shima and Minami-Boso. NTT is the project's main backer and owner. The carrier clearly felt that two Japanese branches along with three cable landing stations (Softbank Maruyama, NTT Shima, and NTT Minami-Boso) would significantly improve resiliency given Japan's reputation for earthquakes and other natural disasters such as tsunamis. As is usual for a NTT project, it created a standalone company known as SerenJuno in which it has majority ownership to minimize risk. This way any misfortunes would not result in the parent company having financial liabilities. NTT is also extremely reserved about revealing capacity owners on the system. I have learned that PCCW is on the system.
