Southern Cross

Southern Cross Cable claims to have connected the world’s first transpacific 1 terabits per second (Tb/s) single-carrier wavelength over the world’s longest single optical submarine cable segment.

FiberSense and Southern Cross Cable Network (SX) have implemented the former’s DigitalMarine subsea cable monitoring capability across SX’s New Zealand, shore-end infrastructure.

Bridge Alliance, Singtel and Ericsson took home a Global Carrier Award in 2022 in the Best IoT Initiative category for a collaboration allowing eSIM swaps in connected car operation. The partnership is built on Singtel's Multi-Domestic Connectivity solution, powered by Ericsson's IoT Accelerator platform that deploys services seamlessly and efficiently across the region, and Bridge Alliance's tight-knit community of tier-one mobile operators in the region.

Entries are now open to the 2023 edition of the Global Carrier Awards. So it’s a good time to look back at some of the companies, projects and initiatives that won in 2022 and how they have pushed on in 2023 – starting with the Southern Cross NEXT cable project, winner of the Project of the Year – Subsea category.

The new 15,840km Southern Cross Next cable from Australia and New Zealand to the US, is now offering Ethernet services at 400Gbps.

FiberSense and Southern Cross Cable Network (SX) have expanded the subsea cable monitoring capability in FiberSense’s DigitalAsset Marine solution.
