Converge Adds 1.3Tbps International Capacity For Fully Redundant Subsea Cable Network

Leading fiber broadband operator Converge ICT Solutions Inc. (PSE: CNVRG) has boosted its international network capacity by an additional 1.3 TeraBits per second (Tbps) in the C2C cable system, making its submarine cable configuration fully redundant.

Photo Insert: With the additional 1.3Tbps capacity on C2C going to Converge PoPs (points of presence), customers are assured that the connections are now fully redundant – guaranteeing network availability even in the event of a submarine cable outage.

The C2C cable system is a part of the EAC-C2C (East Asia Crossing-City to City) network, Asia's largest privately-owned submarine cable network, that stretches to 17,000 km. This cable system connects the Philippines to major data hubs like Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Japan, Korea, and China.

With the additional 1.3Tbps capacity on C2C going to Converge PoPs (points of presence), customers are assured that the connections are now fully redundant – guaranteeing network availability even in the event of a submarine cable outage.

One Tbps is equivalent to 1,000 gigabits (GB) of data passing through the network in one second. To date, 700Gbps out of the additional 1.3Tbps capacity is already active.
