Leighton Contractors has signed an agreement with Alcatel-Lucent to deploy a submarine cable of 4800 kilometers long linking Perth, Australia to Singapore at a rate of 16 Tb / s. Work should start in 2012 after the cable design and a vote on the road to take. The link should be operational by 2013. According to Peter McGrath, a director at Leighton Telecommunications, the cable will offer better latency than Telstra's infrastructure that has multiple links connecting Australia to the rest of Asia.
According to information provided by various companies associated with this project, data will require 28 milliseconds to move from Singapore to Australia. Consumers can now enjoy the highest subscription rate of 10 Gb / s and 40 Gb / s or 100 Gb / s. The cost of transporting data should also decline, as operators will benefit from a cheaper link to international sites.
This cable should cost $ 200 million (approx. EUR 140 million). Alcatel-Lucent will provide optical fiber to be used in the subsea infrastructure. Another such project, led by Pacific Fiber, plans to link Australia and New Zealand to Los Angeles with a rope by passing 5.12 Tb / s. The work is estimated at 400 million dollars and the connection should be operational in 2013.
