China Telecom, together with four Trans-Pacific Express (TPE) consortium teams, is working on laying the TPE cable, which will be the first next-generation undersea optical cable system to directly link the U.S. to China by the end of this year.
China Telecom Limited’s international sub-division China Telecom
Americas said that the TPE cable needs to meet advanced applications
and requirements.
The cable is reported to be a USD500m investment of the consortium
team, and is 13,000 miles long and will carry 2.56 terabits per second.
"China Telecom Americas is committed to meet and exceed the needs of
its global customers and their mission critical operations," Donald
Tan, president of China Telecom Americas is quoted as saying.
The five landing points for the TPE cable include two in China, Chongming and Qingdao, and one in Oregon, state media reports.
