Southern Cross Cables & Ciena partner on NEXT submarine cable

Southern Cross Cable television has strategies to reinforce its bandwidth and resiliency of its brand-new 13,494 kilometre-long NEXT submarine cable television that passes through the Pacific Ocean, which will be finished in early 2022. It is developed to change the existing cable television network.

Southern Cross Cable television has strategies to enhance bandwidth, quick activation, reconfigurability, and resiliency of its services, as an outcome of a collaboration with Ciena.

The 2 business will release Ciena’s GeoMesh Extreme service and Ciena 6500 Submarine Line Terminating Devices, powered by WaveLogic 5 Extreme.

The NEXT cable television will utilize GeoMesh Extreme submarine service as part of the general Southern Cross network material to incorporate the several terabits of traffic throughout the network; the Manage, Control and Strategy (MCP) for functional service management and network preparation; network analysis optimiser Insights Service; and Blue World Bandwidth as needed (BODY) to support service versatility and fulfill the business’s sustainability objectives.

The cable television becomes part of a broader NEXT community that consists of 3 submarine cable television paths, more than 20 gain access to points, and over 43,000 km, this single community supports high capability and low latency paths in between Australia, New Zealand, Fiji, Tokelau, Kiribati, Hawaii, and the United States West Coast.

Southern Cross Cables president and CEO Laurie Miller states, “Today’s work from house requireds and the abrupt significant increase of remote digital requirements have actually created significant traffic spikes and needed our clients to provide increased capability in very brief time frames, a pattern we anticipate to see for many years to come.”

” In looking for the ideal service for our NEXT system, we engaged an external international consultancy to individually examine and assess the different leading market services and after an extensive procedure, the Ciena WaveLogic 5 Extreme was determined as the perfect option.”

Ciena Australia and New Zealand handling director Matt Vesperman includes that Southern Cross is taking on clients’ ‘unmatched’ need for bandwidth.

Last Month Southern Cross Cables revealed that it would deal with SES Networks to guarantee that SES’s O3b constellation of medium earth orbit (MEO) satellites can link remote stations on the NEXT cable television network throughout its commissioning stage.

SES Networks will offer a handled O3b network service to the remote stations, utilizing a quickly- released satellite terminal that provides fibre-like efficiency with a low latency of less than 150ms big salami.

” We are grateful to have a partner in SES Networks that is widely known in the area for offering tried-and-tested, fibre-like, high-speed connection services through its O3b constellation,” states Miller.
