Ah, the great Atlantic.
It's the world's second-largest body of water and the most heavily trafficked route in terms of submarine cable capacity.
It also happens to be TeleGeography VP of Research Tim Stronge's favorite ocean.
Tim told us as much during a recent Ciena webinar, where he gave a live presentation all about the Trans-Atlantic Submarine Corridor.
Earlier this year, TeleGeography VP of Research Tim Stronge gave a very fashionable presentation on the submarine cable buildout boom.
Tim's presentation zeroed in on bandwidth demand—or more specifically, what's driving it? Now it’s time to focus on where innovations are happening the fastest: the Atlantic.
OnJune 2 at 11:00 a.m. ET, Tim will meet with experts from Ciena and Lumen for a live discussion on how submarine networks can scale to manage this surging demand.
We recently shared the pricing workshop and interconnection sector review our team presented at PTC '22.
But wait—there's more!
TeleGeography VP of Research Tim Stronge was on the scene to answer three questions about the submarine cable buildout boom.
Our data is powered by a team of superstars who live and breathe telecom.
So when SubOptic—the nonprofit group of undersea communications enthusiasts known for their triennial cable conference—has questions, TeleGeography experts are ready to answer the call.
I'm a cynic and you can be one, too!
This was the title of Tim Stronge's presentation during a recent webinar we did with our friends at Ciena.
Our favorite neighborhood cynic came bearing an important public service announcement for webinar attendees: just because you see a flashy slide deck or press release about a new submarine cable doesn't mean it's going to happen.
Way back in 1998, a press release went out from Global Crossing about the first segment of their transatlantic fiber-optic cable.
"Global Crossing announced today that it has begun transmitting voice and data communication through Atlantic Crossing (AC-1)," read the release, touting the cable's state-of-the-art system. This segment will double the total capacity in service across the Atlantic Ocean! Full city-to-city connectivity! A link between Europe and the U.S.!
Did you catch what's so interesting about that language?
This week TeleGeography VP of Research Tim Stronge made his way to San Jose to speak at NANOG 71.
His session covered the relationship between international transport and content provider demand and the way in which content providers are changing international transport prices.
We went 12 years without building a new cable in the Atlantic. In the last two years we've seen two builds, another announced, and more planned.
This might be why our VP of Research Tim Stronge recently asked a group of PTC 2017 attendees if we're in a submarine cable bubble.
