USTDA backs new India–Singapore subsea cable study

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), in collaboration with other UN departments established a new body aimed at strengthening the resilience of submarine cables in response to rising outages.

Seacom, which claims ownership of Africa’s most extensive ICT data infrastructure, apparently experienced an outage on its subsea cable system over the weekend.

Philippine telco Globe Telecom says it recently held a successful pilot test of 50GPON, which it hopes will not only boost the user experience for its fibre broadband service, but also unlock other potential use cases for enterprises.
