Submarine cables - lifelines of countries and continents (denog16)
Update: 2024-11-18
Description
In recent years, we’ve heard a bit more about submarine cables, mostly related to fiber cuts. Given that they’re lifelines of countries or even continents, they are important, yet we know little about them. So, what’s the rationale behind the large selection of submarine cables, often on the same route? Is it just about resiliency and shorter routes, or are there other differentiators?
This talk will provide insight into the construction, operation, maintenance, and selection of submarine cables, using the connections between the United Kingdom and Continental Europe as an example.
We will dive into what it takes to construct a submarine cable, discover why and how it breaks, and provide guidance on what to consider when purchasing.
