Capacity & technical features :
Both systems are based on technology using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM). The systems are designed to carry up to sixty four (64) wavelengths at 10 gb/s per fiber pair. Initial equipage includes two fiber pairs equipped with two wavelengths at 10 gb/s with a high reliability level.
Both systems include following state-of-the-art features :
- Repeaters designed for WDM applications,
- Equalization and Dispersion Management,
- WDM Submarine Line Terminal Equipment (Nx10Gb/s),
- High reliability submerged components,
- Third generation Forward Error Correction (FEC),
- Modern Network Management System.
