TAT-14 Landing Station Blaabjerg
TAT-14 was the 14th consortium transatlantic telecommunications cable system. In operation from 2001 to 2020, it used wavelength division multiplexing. The cable system was built from multiple pairs of fibres—one fibre in each pair was used for data carried in one direction and the other in the opposite direction. Although optical fibre can be used in both directions simultaneously, for reliability it is better not to require splitting equipment at the end of the individual fibre to separate transmit and receive signals—hence a fibre pair is used. TAT-14 used four pairs of fibres—two pairs as active and two as backup. Each fibre in each pair carried 16 wavelengths in one direction, and each wavelength carried up to an Synchronous optical networking, STM-256 (38,486,016 kbit/s as payload). The fibres were bundled into submarine cables connecting the United States and the European Union (United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark) in a ring topology. By ...

Blåvandshuk
Blåvandshuk is a headland on the North Sea coast of Jutland northwest of Esbjerg, and is the westernmost point of metropolitan Denmark. The Blåvand Lighthouse is the westernmost located building in Denmark. Natural Environment A significant portion of Blåvandshuk is marsh land, moor, dunes, and beaches. Because Blåvandshuk is on the coast and has a peninsula (''Skallingen'') which stretches to the southeast, it is surrounded by much water. To the northwest is the North Sea. To the southeast of ''Skallingen'' is Fanø Bay (''Fanø Bugt'') and the island Fanø. Beyond Fanø Bay is the Wadden Sea. To the northeast of ''Skallingen'' lies Ho Bay (''Ho Bugt'') and the small island of Langli. ''Skallingen'' and the waters off its coast are protected, a part of the Wadden Sea wildlife reserve and protection area being discussed as a potential national park. Administrative status Prior to January 1, 2007, Blåvandshuk was also the name of a municipality (Danish, '' kommune'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
CANTAT-3
CANTAT-3 was the third Canadian transatlantic telecommunications cable, in regular operation from 1994 to 2010, carrying 3 x 2.5 Gbit/s between Canada and Europe. It branches to both Iceland and the Faroe Islands. It is out of normal service for international bandwidth and is currently operated by Føroya Tele to service oil platforms in the North Sea. Landing Points The landing points are: # Pennant Point, Nova Scotia, Canada (defunct since 2010) #Vestmannaeyjar, Iceland #TjørnuvÃk, Faroe Islands #Redcar, North Yorkshire, UK (defunct) #Blaabjerg, Denmark #Sylt, Germany #Valdemar Oil Platforms, North Sea (connected in 2012) History ANTAT-3 is the only NL-16 laser regenerative 2.5 Gig/s submarine system built in the world. Part of this huge system was built at STC Submarine Networks, Portland, Oregon, United States">USA, from 1993-1994 (which later became Alcatel Submarine Networks).

Transatlantic Communications Cable
A transatlantic telecommunications cable is a submarine communications cable connecting one side of the Atlantic Ocean to the other. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, each cable was a single wire. After mid-century, coaxial cable came into use, with amplifiers. Late in the 20th century, all cables installed used optical fiber as well as optical amplifiers, because distances range thousands of kilometers. History When the first transatlantic telegraph cable was laid in 1858 by Cyrus West Field, it operated for only three weeks; subsequent attempts in 1865 and 1866 were more successful. In July 1866 '' Great Eastern'' sailed out of Valentia Island, Ireland and on July 26th landed at Hearts Content in Newfoundland. It was active until 1965. Although a telephone cable was discussed starting in the 1920s, to be practical it needed a number of technological advances which did not arrive until the 1940s. Starting in 1927, transatlantic telephone service was radio-based. TAT-1 (Tra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Danish Language
Danish (; , ) is a North Germanic language spoken by about six million people, principally in and around Denmark. Communities of Danish speakers are also found in Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and the northern German region of Southern Schleswig, where it has minority language status. Minor Danish-speaking communities are also found in Norway, Sweden, the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Argentina. Along with the other North Germanic languages, Danish is a descendant of Old Norse, the common language of the Germanic peoples who lived in Scandinavia during the Viking Era. Danish, together with Swedish, derives from the ''East Norse'' dialect group, while the Middle Norwegian language (before the influence of Danish) and Norwegian Bokmål are classified as ''West Norse'' along with Faroese and Icelandic. A more recent classification based on mutual intelligibility separates modern spoken Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish as "mainland (or ''continental'') Scandinavian", while I ...
