SubOptic 2025 Conference - Anjana Cable Details Revealed

Anjana is a half terabit META cable landing at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and Santander, Spain. It is well known that the design capacity is 480 Tbps based on 24 fibre pairs. Here are some new details: A. There are 89 optical amplifiers space 80 kilometers apart. That's 48 US miles and is near the amplifier distance limit for high capacity systems. B. The presenter said it uses 8,000 volts of DC. I ask the engineers reading this post to tell me if this makes sense. C. The standard for a reliable subsea network is one bad bit in a trillion or less. In other words, a bit error equal or less than 10 to the minus 12 power.

Management Follies That Hobble Wholesale Carriers - Part 1

Despite what we think, telecom wholesale service is not really a tech industry, at least not in leadership. Engineers, scientists, technicians, mathematicians, and computer scientists lead the real tech companies. Google is an excellent example. Sergey Brin and Steve Paige, two Stanford educated computer scientists, founded the company. German companies almost always select mechanical engineers to lead them. Obviously there will be cases of generalists who do quite well. Bjarni Thorvardarson was not a STEM graduate, but he has a critical, yet open mind and led Hibernia out of bankruptcy to a $610 million sale sale to GTT. He accepted a sales force initially composed of four sales contractors who had no salaries, but received 10% of net revenue, (gross revenue minus third party network costs), used a contract manager to handle standard NSA and MSA negotiations as opposed to a lawyer, and took the daring step of building the new, ultra-low latency Express cable in an era o...

Potential New African Subsea Cable

Medusa is seeking to extend its Mediterranean subsea cable network to Africa's West coast. Full funding has not been secured. Rumor has it that Medusa is trying to get the balance required from Hong Kong investors. CEO vehemently denies it. System would have 16 fibre pairs and extend down the West coast of Africa to Capetown. There are a couple of factors driving Medusa's interest. Although Equiano dropped many branching units in the water, there have been few takers. This means most West Coast countries have only one modern cable, 2Africa, for transport. Moreover, it is likely that 2Africa capacity will go fast. A quarter belongs to Facebook. Moreover, there will be substantial migration from ACE and WACS to 2Africa due to the latter's superior reliability and much lower pricing. So it is likely 2Africa will be maxed out in 3 to 5 years. Another key driver is avoiding the Red Sea. Right now the 2Africa Marseille/Mombasa and Oman routes cannot be completed due...
