Submarine Communications Cable
A submarine communications cable is a cable laid on the sea bed between land-based stations to carry telecommunication signals across stretches of ocean and sea. The first submarine communications cables laid beginning in the 1850s carried telegraphy traffic, establishing the first instant telecommunications links between continents, such as the first transatlantic telegraph cable which became operational on 16 August 1858. Subsequent generations of cables carried telephone traffic, then data communications traffic. Modern cables use optical fibre technology to carry digital data, which includes telephone, Internet and private data traffic. Modern cables are typically about in diameter and weigh around for the deep-sea sections which comprise the majority of the run, although larger and heavier cables are used for shallow-water sections near shore. Submarine cables first connected all the world's continents (except Antarctica) when Java was connected to Darwin, Northern Terr ...

Alaska Communications System
The Alaska Communications System (ACS), also known as the Washington-Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph System (WAMCATS), was a system of cables and telegraph lines authorized by the U.S. Congress in 1900 and constructed by the U.S. Army Signal Corps. The communications lines were to serve both military and civilian needs in the territory of Alaska. By 1904, ACS comprised some of undersea cable, over of land lines, and a wireless segment across at least . On May 15, 1936 WAMCATS was renamed the U.S. Army Alaska Communications System. The Alaska Communications System remained under the control of the Army Signal Corps until 1962 when it was taken over by the U.S. Air Force. The ACS handled the radioteletype, radio telephone, 500 kHz ship-to-shore frequencies, collected communications intelligence, and other services for more than half a century in Alaska. The Army Signal Corps (which develops, tests, provides, and manages communications and information systems support for the com ...

ANZAC Cable System
The Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) was a First World War army corps of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force. It was formed in Egypt in December 1914, and operated during the Gallipoli campaign. General William Birdwood commanded the corps, which primarily consisted of troops from the First Australian Imperial Force and 1st New Zealand Expeditionary Force, although there were also British and Indian units attached at times throughout the campaign. The corps disbanded in 1916, following the Allied evacuation of the Gallipoli peninsula and the formation of I ANZAC Corps and II ANZAC Corps. The corps was reestablished, briefly, in the Second World War during the Battle of Greece in 1941. History Original formation Plans for the formation began in November 1914 while the first contingent of Australian and New Zealand troops were still in convoy bound for, as they thought, Europe. However, following the experiences of the Canadian Expeditionary Force encamped on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Antilles Crossing Phase 1 (cable System)
Southern Caribbean Fiber, (once known as Antilles Crossing), is an underwater 20 gigabit per second (Gbit/s) fiber optics ring network connecting several nations and overseas territories of the Caribbean Sea. The initial phase of construction extended from Needham's Point, Saint Michael, Barbados to Saint Croix in the U.S. Virgin Islands where it interconnects with Global Crossing's worldwide telecommunications network. Originally built by TeleBarbados, it is one of the newer important network connections to the Internet for Barbados, the Windward and also Leeward Islands. The company began as a joint venture between Leucadia National Corporation and Barbados Light & Power Holdings Limited with plan to built out the network in four phases. *Phase I (The red phase) links Barbados, to the island of Saint Croix in the United States Virgin Islands. *Phase II (The grey phase) will see the linking of Barbados firstly to Tobago and then onward to Trinidad further south. *Phase I ...

ANTILLAS I
ANTILLAS I is a fiber optic submarine communications cable that extends between the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. It has been in service since June 1997 and is operated on a common carrier basis. ANTILLAS I uses digital channels operating at 64 kilobits per second (kbit/s) that allow over 15,000 simultaneous calls without multiplexing. It consists of six working optical fiber pairs with each fiber pair carrying four 155 Mbit/s Basic System Modules (BSMs), with each BSM containing sixty-three Minimum Investment Units (MIUs), for a total capacity, on each fiber pair, of 252 MIUs.

Amitié (submarine Communications Cable)
Amitié is a private transatlantic communications cable that connects the United States ( Lynn), with the UK (Bude) and France (Le Porge). It was announced in 2020 and was due to go live in 2022. History Edge Cable Holdings (Facebook), AquaComms, Cable & Wireless Americas Systems (Vodafone) and Microsoft Infrastructure applied for a licence to land and operate a 6,800 kilometre optical submarine cable from the US in August 2020. The application stated the proposed private cable - Amitié - would be operated on a non-common-carrier basis. The proposed route for the new cable was from a landing site in Lynn, MA, US to a new landing station in the Bordeaux region of France (Le Porge) and the Bude landing station in the UK In January 2021, Orange announced it had become part of this consortium and would act as the landing party for the Le Porge site. The partnership deal gives Orange ownership of the portion of the Amitié cable system that stretches from 12 nautical miles off the ...
