CIENA NETWORKS THE OCEAN FLOOR

 


Ciena (NYSE: CIEN) has provided 400 Gbps connectivity to Southern Cross Cables Ltd's recently acquired 9,843 miles of undersea cable. has been released for production, highlighting areas where cloud hyperscalers are in high demand.

 


Southern Cross is an independent company that provides capacity, mostly undersea, to network operators and their ISPs in Australia, New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific region. Shareholders include New Zealand's Spark provider, Australia's Singtel Optus, Verizon (NYSE: VZ) and Telstra. One of

Southern Cross's key projects was his just-announced NEXT cable. It operates between Sydney, Auckland and Los Angeles, with fiber optic connections to the islands of Tokelau, Kiribati and Fiji. NEXT took two years to complete and is one of three cable systems that will form the Southern Cross ecosystem in the Asia-Pacific region.

Ciena, a leading optical networking company, provided the underwater switching technology that forms the basis of NEXT. The switch implemented was a WaveLogic 5 Extreme (WL5e) model with coherent optics, a laser designed to transmit large amounts of data over long distances. WL5e connections operate at speeds of up to 800 Gbps and are used in the networks of Comcast, Deutsche Telekom, Spark, Sparkle, Telus, Verizon, Vodafone New Zealand, and Windstream, to name a few. The

Cienas WL5e was the provider's platform for operating his GeoMesh Extreme technology and connected the rest of the cables in the Southern Cross ecosystem to his NEXT. As the name suggests, GeoMesh creates a network between terrestrial and subsea connections. This is more difficult than it sounds. The optical signal is a type of packet used on land using technology that is routed over an undersea link from an inland terrestrial Point of Presence (PoP), rather than from a hut on the shore, and is deployed under the waves. Must support exchange.

GeoMesh uses artificial intelligence (AI), monitoring and telemetry, software-defined networking (SDN), integration testing, and other measures to track Ciena networks performance and prevent fiber damage from passing ships or tsunamis. Fix the unavoidable errors that occur when etc. will be interrupted. and other marine threats.

Submarines, warships capable

    This is a unique ability among warships, and submarines are very different in design and appearance from surface ships. U-boats first became an important element of naval warfare in World War I (1914-1918), when Germany used them to destroy surface merchant shipping. In such attacks, submarines used their main weapon, self-propelled underwater missiles known as torpedoes. Submarines played a similar role on a larger scale during World War II (1939-1945), in both the Atlantic (on the German side) and Pacific (on the American side). In the 1960s, nuclear submarines became important strategic weapons platforms because they could remain submerged for months and launch long-range nuclear missiles without surfacing.   Nuclear attack submarines, equipped with torpedoes, anti-ship missiles, and anti-submarine missiles, also became an important element of naval warfare. Below is a history of the development of submarines from the 17th century to the present. For the hist...
