Seacom's submarine fibre-optic network is set to be upgraded – a development that will see its capacity more than double.
As part of the independent cable company's multimillion-dollar investment programme for 2012, Seacom says it will run trials with 40Gbps and 100Gbps terminal equipment during the third quarter of the year. This is a progression from the network's existing 10Gbps transmission technology deployed on the system when it was launched in 2009.
