Construction on the Unity Cable System Begins
Tyco Telecommunications, a business unit of Tyco Electronics, and NEC Corporation, a provider of IT networks integrated solutions and semiconductor solutions, jointly announced the commencement of construction on the Unity Cable System.
The Unity Cable System is a high-bandwidth, trans-Pacific, optical submarine cable system that will link Los Angeles, U.S. to Chikura, Japan. It is a multi-fiber pair system, with each fiber pair capable of carrying up to 960 Gigabits of data per second. Tyco Telecommunications will install the undersea cable from the U.S. end and NEC will install the undersea cable from the Japan end. The cables will be interfaced on the seabed of the Pacific Ocean.
The contract for the project was signed in February 2008, between the Unity Consortium, comprising of six purchasers, Bharti Airtel, Global Transit, Google, KDDI, Pacnet and SingTel and suppliers Tyco Telecommunications and NEC Corporation.
“Tyco Telecommunications is proud to be a system supplier for the Unity Cable System, a state-of-the-art long haul system that will provide additional connectivity and capacity between regions of the world that increasingly require more bandwidth,” said Bill Marra, General Manager of Tyco Telecommunications.
