A huge part of the world population has chosen to use cable internet service, and there is definitely a solid reason behind it. There are many advantages of having a cable internet connection in your home and that is why more developments in this area are occurring at a very rapid pace.
One of them is the recent measure taken by Southern Cross Cable Network (SCCN), a trans-Pacific network of telecommunications cables, by implementing Ciena’s 100G transmission equipment across its submarine network, so it can help meet the demands for data networking services. This is a 6500 packed optical platform, which will also help the company manage web traffic. The network covers 30,000 kilometers between three countries and the equipment will increase the total lit capacity up to 2.6 Tbps/per second.
Sales and marketing director at SCCN, Ross Pfeffer, said in a statement, via Computer World:
“If deployed on all fibres, along with gridless optical networking, our potential capacity capability increases to 12Tbps, between Australia, New Zealand and United States. Retail broadband data caps have expanded dramatically on the back of current international capacity prices in both Australia and New Zealand with demand for capacity continuing to grow at around 35 to 40 per cent annually.”
This cable networks provide a range of advantages including fast upload and download speed. When it comes to disconnects, they are there, but very rare. The only time you lose your connection is when the power is out; you can fix that problem easily by attaching a backup battery router to it. Pfeffer mentioned that this new network will help users get better connectivity and said:
“With direct connectivity to Southern Cross capacity now available from key Internet data centres, such as Equinix in Sydney, CoreSite in San Jose, California and the Westin Building in Seattle, Washington it is easier than ever for our customers to access high-capacity connectivity.”
