Cable Terminal
The Southern Cross Cable which uses 3rd generation optical fibre amplified system, has 3 fibre pairs and a current total capacity of 240 Gbits. It employs Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) and Dense Wave Length Division Multiplexing (DWDM) on triple ring architecture, to achieve a self-healing network, so in the unlikely event of a physical cable break, the network will seamlessly restore communication within 50 milliseconds.
With the availability of bandwidth, Fiji is now in a strong position to make use of new global technologies on the information superhighway. Applications such as voice and data integration, e-commerce, information distribution, music distribution, video-on-demand and videoconferencing are now significant.
The cable capacity can be upgraded to 480 Gbits.
