PEACE Cable International Network Co., Limited, an international
submarine cable system company which is devoted to interconnected
global communications, and PCCW Global, a leading international
telecommunications service provider, today announce that they will
deploy the Infinera (NASDAQ: INFN) ICE6 optical engine solution on
the Mediterranean Segment of the Pakistan & East Africa
Connecting Europe (PEACE) submarine cable system. The best-in-class
Infinera optical engine solution will provide the PEACE submarine
cable system with the ability to transmit record-breaking capacity
of nearly 25 terabits per fiber pair, while laying the foundation
for enhanced service scalability, flexibility and future
differentiation.
Following extensive technology evaluation and
application analysis, the Infinera ICE6 solution was selected based
on its outstanding capabilities, including the ability to achieve
industry-leading, commercially deployable performance with a
combination of ultra-high baud rates and an advanced modulation
technique known as long-codeword probabilistic constellation
shaping. Both capabilities are using the latest 7-nm ASIC
technology, highly optimized algorithms and Infinera’s
second-generation Nyquist subcarriers.
The high-speed, 15,000-km PEACE submarine cable
system offers high-capacity, low-latency routes connecting China,
Europe and Africa. In addition to France, the cable will land in
Malta, Cyprus, Egypt, Djibouti, Kenya, Pakistan and other countries
and regions, with onward terrestrial connectivity to China.
Mr. Sun Xiao Hua, Chief Operating Officer, PEACE
Cable International Network Co., Limited, said, “We are committed
to being a leading international submarine cable operator,
providing customers with an open, flexible and carrier-neutral
service that enables them to choose any device that they prefer.
This collaboration with Infinera is just the beginning. Welcome
aboard.”
Mr. Haitham Zahran, Vice President - EMEA Subsea
Cable Systems, PCCW Global, said, “PEACE submarine cable system is
specifically optimized for maximum capacity per fiber pair and our
advanced network design enables us to continue to embrace new
technologies in order to meet growing bandwidth demand over these
important routes. We are hopeful that it will soon be the
highest-performing open cable system connecting Asia, Europe and
Africa.”
Mr. Nick Walden, Senior Vice President of Worldwide
Sales, Infinera, said, “Infinera has always excelled in providing
solutions that help network operators extract the greatest amount
of value from their submarine assets. ICE6 enables PCCW Global and
