Alcatel to Upgrade Capacity of Sea-Me-We 4 Submarine Cable System
Posted on: Thursday, 6 March 2008, 09:00 CST
Alcatel-Lucent has announced that it will be upgrading the capacity of the South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 4 submarine cable system that connects numerous countries from Singapore to France.
With completion scheduled in 2009, this second upgrade project will further double the existing trunk capacity of the system, going beyond the original design capacity, enabling South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe (Sea-Me-We) 4 to support the increased broadband traffic requirements along the route.
Under the terms of the contract, Alcatel-Lucent will upgrade the India-France submarine link by deploying, installing and commissioning additional dense wavelength division multiplexing equipment (DWDM), based on its 1620 Light Manager. In addition, Alcatel-Lucent will upgrade the 1626 Light Manager-based terrestrial link connecting Alexandria and Suez, and the existing SDH equipment, the Alcatel-Lucent 1678 Metro Core Connect, for this network.
