Cable upgrade in record time
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has completed work on
the India-Middle East-Western Europe (IMEWE) cable
network.
The installation of submarine line terminal equipment in
eight countries has upgraded the submarine cable
network with 40Gbps dense wavelength division
multiplexing (DWDM) technology.
The IMEWE cable system was commissioned in 2010 as
a 10Gbps DWDM system, linking India to Europe via the
Middle East.
The system, of around 12,090km with 10 terminal
stations, is owned by a consortium of leading telecom
carriers in India, Pakistan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt,
Lebanon, Italy and France.
The cable system comprises three optical fibre cable
pairs with two fibre pairs on an express path, as well as a
terrestrial link connecting the cities of Alexandria and
Suez in Egypt.
Network demand in these areas is expected to grow
rapidly in line with economic development in India and
the Middle East, hence the deployment of 40Gbps
technology.
Mitsubishi Electric has incorporated forward error
correction and high-speed coherent technologies to
terminal equipment, boosting transmission capacity.
