Optical submarine cables support Tbps-class international communications

Today everybody is on the Internet. Without doubt, the maintenance of the telecommunications networks played a large role in the explosive growth of the Internet. In particular, cables laid at the bottom of the oceans are critical to international communications. While transmissions by communications satellite barely reach Gbps-class speed, submarine cables offer Tbps-class communications speed. Mitsubishi Electric made many contributions to submarine cables, particularly optical submarine cables.
