The Emerald Networks team has contracted AP Telecom to serve as overall Program Manager for the effort.
AP Telecom, a global leader in the development of undersea fiber networks sales, will provide Project Manager support to the Emerald Networks development team. As part of the overall program management, AP Telecom will provide Emerald Networks with specialists in the various commercial aspects of system design, procurement and the sales strategy behind leveraging the capabilities and reach of their network.

“We are honored to be a part of such an important project in one of the world's fastest-growing telecom markets and working within the Emerald Networks team to bring their plans to fruition,” said John Hibbard, Board Member of AP Telecom and President of the Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC). “We're pleased to play a major role in the development of the first new undersea network connection across the Atlantic in nearly 10 years, and assist Emerald with a roll-out of the applications needed to meet their customer's demands in the 21st century.”
