The implementation of 100G technology is vital for Southern Cross to enhance its 30,000km submarine network to further work towards high speed broadband in New Zealand and Australia.
“The 100G transmission equipment increases total lit capacity across our two cables to 2.6Tbps. If deployed on all Southern Cross fibres, along with gridless optical networking, our potential capacity capability increases to 12Tbps, between Australia/New Zealand and the USA,” said Ross Pfeffer, sales and marketing director at Southern Cross.
