The world’s fastest underwater fibre optic cable goes live on 30 June, reports TNW.
The cable which connects the United States and Japan is reported to have cost $300 million (R4,469,925,000).
Its aim is to help service providers in Asia and the US meet the increase in broadband traffic, which is expected to increase four-fold.
“From the very beginning of the project, we repeatedly said to each other, ‘faster, Faster and FASTER’, and at one point it became the project name and today it becomes a reality,” said Mr Hiromitsu Todokoro, Chairman of the FASTER Management Committee.
“This is the outcome of six members’ [Google, China Mobile International, China Telecom Global, Global Transit, KDDI and SingTel] collaborative contribution and expertise together with NEC’s support.”
