#Didyouknow that the online movie you just watched likely travelled across the seas and oceans’ floor before reaching you? In fact, over 95% of international digital traffic is carried by undersea submarine fibre optic cables around the world. As one of the world’s key submarine cable hubs, Singapore is where many international submarine cables land. This is also why we can enjoy great digital connectivity and our businesses can transact at breakneck speeds. Earlier this week, we welcomed ICPC | International Cable Protection Committee, the leading international submarine cable industry organisation, to Singapore for their annual ICPC Plenary. Over 200 professionals across private and public sectors from around the world shared best practices and exchanged ideas on policy, legislation and technical developments to promote the safeguarding and resilience of submarine cables. As part of the event, IMDA Deputy Chief Executive Aileen Chia gave an address at the Plenary and participated in a closed-door ICPC-CIL (NUS Center for International Law) panel discussion, where she shared how Singapore is doubling its submarine cable landings as part of our Digital Connectivity Blueprint to boost our digital connectivity to the rest of the world. She also highlighted how we work with the industry and regional governments to improve best practices in facilitating cable repairs. These efforts will support global digital data flows and enhance Singapore’s role as a resilient digital hub, as we continue to architect a shared digital future for all. #IMDA #IMDigitalArchitect

The fiber optic cable connecting Singapore to Pakistan and Europe has been cut. According to sources, the Southeast Asia-Middle East-Western Europe (SEA-ME-WE) cable was cut near Indonesia, with five cuts on the submarine fiber optic cable. Sources say it will take time to repair the fiber optic cable. The cut has affected internet services coming from the east, with PTCL and Transworld's eastern traffic being impacted. Pakistani users may face severe difficulties browsing the internet in the evening. According to sources, PTCL says that eastern traffic is less than 10%, and alternative sources have been arranged to shift internet traffic coming from the east.

Luminous Real Estate and Telecom: I source Layer 1-3 network capacity & computing power for clients. Background: Economist, Real Estate Development in Budapest & Tallinn, & Sales at Hibernia Atlantic.
Back in April of last year a spate of articles appeared regarding plans for a Chinese carrier led consortium to build a rival to SWM6. American pressure had pushed out Hauwei Marine in favor of Subcom for the SWM6 project scheduled to be in service 1Q25. This Chinese led cable was their response. I am researching this cable now. Not much available. It is not clear to me there is room for two SWM6 lookalikes. They would travel similar paths, face exactly the diversity problems, and furthermore, Hauwei gear is suspected of being loaded with back doors for the Chinese security services. Furthermore, SMW6 will be a high capacity 10 fibre pair system based on SDM technology and with an initial design capacity of 126 Tbps. Not clear the Chinese will able to recruit enough carriers to their project to make it viable. This Chinese ghost project (because so little is publicly know about it) has the tentative name of the EMA cable. #subseacables #swm6 #sdm #internetinfrastructure

Network benchmarking allows regulatory authorities to transparently evaluate and report the mobile network coverage as well as offered QoS/QoE performance provided by licensed mobile operators. The generated insights allow regulatory authorities to firstly verify service level compliance and spectrum license obligations. But secondly, it will also foster competition among mobile operators and motivate them to provide superior network and service performance to their end-users. Visit our website and learn more about our solution for mobile network benchmarking or read the press release from a project commissioned by the Island regulatory authority ECOI.

Article on the merits of private wireless for industry As secretary of EUWENA I regularly present at international events on the business case for private wireless networks for enterprises. Also, as EUWENA we defend the availability of private spectrum for enterprise purposes. That debate though has an inclination to be one amongst the 'inner circle' of private 5G and spectrum addicts; it doesn't always reach the wider community of industries at large. Then again; all industries have something to gain from private mobile networks: it provides them with yet another option for plant automation and process optimisation. Hence the below interview with- and article in a magazine called 'Europoortkringen'; aimed at industries in and around the Rotterdam port (which is still the largest port in Europe) and beyond. The article displays in simple terms what an average industry has to gain from private wireless networks and how it facilitates their innovation. Being aimed at the Dutch industrial community the article is in ... Dutch.
