International Submarine Cable Systems

Laying a new cable system can often be a multi-year effort. From business opportunity recognition, to requirements definition, to landing zones, to contract, to cable construction, to implementation, to testing.....you get the idea. It can take a while.

A few companies specialize in undersea cable deployments. Alcatel-Lucent is one. Alcatel-Lucent provides a wide array of hardware, software, facilities, and services to carriers. Alcatel even maintains its own fleet of ships to maintain cable systems for customers. Surprising to think that a telecom company like Alcatel has a fleet of ships.

Companies such as Alcatel can be contracted with to deploy new undersea cable systems. Once the fiber is ready, Alcatel uses its ships to deploy the cable in essentially 6 steps:

Float the cable from the deployment ship to the shore to be connected to the landing station.
Disconnect the cable from the floating buoys and allow it to fall to the ocean floor, typically the continental shelf.
Use a Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) - essentially an unmanned submarine - to bury the fiber optic cable under the ocean floor. This keeps the sharks, fishing boats, rock slides, and currents from affecting the cable. It also makes it harder for spy agencies - like the CIA, NSA, KGB and other agencies with TLAs - to find the cables and tap into them.
Continue across the ocean, adding repeaters where necessary. The ROV continues to bury the cable.
On the other side of the ocean, repeat step #1 - float the cable from the deployment ship to the shore to be connected to the landing station.
You now have an undersea fiber optic cable deployed. Alcatel has a very nice flash demo which shows this process.


Unfortunately, events often occur that cut undersea fiber optic cables. This can lead to massive outages, particularly in countries with limited and/or restricted Internet access. Carriers have gotten much better in the past few years dealing with undersea cable faults. Service restoration prioritization - for example, private MPLS services over general Internet - is done automatically now by optical mesh clouds based on standards such as GMPLS. Verizon often touts its optical mesh technology for undersea cable systems.

However, when a cable cut occurs, it has to be fixed. Fixing a cable cut is done with the same ships that laid the cable in the first place.

Internet's Undersea World

There is no one map I know of that shows every cable system. THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY OF THEM! Verizon has a simple, interractive map of the systems they use. This is also a good map of the current major intercontinental (always wanted to use that word in a sentence!) cable systems.


The best list of all international undersea cable systems shows - by my best count - 288 individual cable systems. And remember, each system may have multiple cables. And each cable has multiple fibers in it. And each fiber, with Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM), can transfer many point-to-point connections on different lambdas. This takes the capacity of a single undersea fiber system into the Terabits.

The longest undersea cable system in the world - SEA-ME-WE-3 or South-East Asia - Middle East - Western Europe 3 - can transfer over 960 Gbps, close to 1 Tbps. SEA-ME-WE-3 has 39 landing points from Korea to Germany spanning 24,000 miles.

Optical Branching Units allow SEA-ME-ME-3 to drop off connections into countries along its route; such as India, Pakistan, Turkey, and Greece. SEA-ME-WE-3 has been so successful, SEA-ME-WE-4 has been built.

faceBook


(Orihinal na Pamagat: Mukang Libro)
Isa ako sa mga nahuhumaling at na-aadik sa pag-gamit ng bagong
kinababaliwan ng mga pinoy, bata man o matanda, MukangLibro(Facebook).

Sa napakaraming pagpipilian na mga social networking site, ito na ang
mas bagong sumisikat keysa sa dati kong ginagamit na Friendster.
Simple lang ang dahilan, mas simple ito at madaling gamitin dahil sa
disenyo ng kanyang interface. Madali mong makikita at mababasa ang mga
kasalukuyang pahayag ng mga taong kunektado sayo lalo na sa mga
kapamilya mo.

Dalawang bagay lang ang aking masasabi. Una, mahirap at bawal para sa
aking trabaho dahil ako ang humaharang ng website na ito sa network ng
kumpanya. Ang solusyon, facebook sa cellphone gamit ang libreng
internet. Hehehe..
Pangalawa, mahirap pala tagalugin ng buong buo ang pahayag kong ito...grabehh!

Ito'y isinulat para ipaskel sa sapot gamit ang putol na kawad na
telepono na may modelong SE-P1i.

Salamat po!

Cont...part 2 of GUIDELINES ON PREPAID LOADS


3. Public telecommunications entities may offer longer validity or
expiry period for
prepaid loads.
4. For each new load that is purchased, the amount of the unused loads
earlier purchased that are still within the validity period shall be
added to and accumulate to the new load. The new minimum validity or
expiry period shall be based on the sum of the new load plus the
unused load. For purposes of illustration if for example a subscriber
has an unused load of PhP2.00 and a PhP10.00 new load is purchased,
the new validity or expiry period shall be fifteen (15) days.
5. Access to balance inquiry service through text messages shall be
free of charge.
6. Violation of any of the provisions of this
Circular shall be a ground for the imposition of fines and other
appropriate penalties in accordance with law.
7. Any
circular, order, memoranda or parts thereof inconsistent herewith are
