The vast majority of global internet traffic travels over submarine networks. With modern improvements, undersea networks are undergoing rapid change to accommodate massive increases in traffic. Today’s innovators view all networks, including terrestrial, undersea, satellite and cloud, as a single entity. Technologies are being implementing across all platforms to increase bandwidth and reliability while lowering service and operating costs.

While the potential of 5G is enormous, will the reality live up to the hype? The infrastructure of tomorrow must support critical services that increase business efficiency and enhance our lives. From enhanced mobile broadband to ultra-reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC), reliability must be ensured. Industrial internet, smart energy and traffic grids and autonomous transportation require creativity, innovation and a new way of thinking. 

With bandwidth needs increasing at an unprecedented rate, networks must have the ability to quickly and easily scale to meet rising demand. For metro, long-haul and undersea applications, optical platforms are an ideal solution. Future optical networks will bring greater capability and functionality, enabling developers to create new software tools and applications that take advantage of higher service capability and velocity.
