  • In the past eight years, no new submarine cables have been operationalized in the Asia Pacific. This has led to a shortage of resources and created challenges in the market.

  • The launch of the ADC’s capacity has been eagerly anticipated by the industry. This milestone was achieved two months earlier than planned, following the completion of the ADC wet segment last November.

  • This has helped to ease the strain on submarine cable resources.

  • The availability of capacity will support the growth of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and big data
