Papua New Guinea’s state-owned wholesale operator PNG DataCo says that it has completed an upgrade of its internet gateway with a 100-Gbps link that enables it to migrate traffic onto the PIPE Pacific Cable 1 (PPC-1) subsea cable.
Keppel – one of the owners of the Bifrost Cable System – said on Thursday that the subsea cable linking the US to Southeast Asia is now ready for service and will now gear up to carry commercial traffic in the coming weeks.
While many subsea cable stories recently are about accidents and repairs in the world’s oceans, two recent stories from India and West Africa are land-based and underline some of the potential pitfalls of inadequate planning.
Bharti Airtel was given the greenlight to increase its shares in Indus Towers by up to 5%, strengthening its control in India’s largest tower infrastructure provider.
One thought on “PNG DataCo upgrades internet gateway, shifts traffic to PPC-1”
Moving traffic off the Coral Sea 2 cable that is far more expensive than PPC-1. The PPC-1 cable allows PNG to send traffic north to the USA and Asia directly whereas the Coral Sea 2 cable sends traffic directly to Sydney not a lot of use if you consider all your traffic can be snooped by Australia.
