NTT says Asia Submarine-cable Express will link Japan, the Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia from August 20
NTT Communications will launch the Asia Submarine-cable Express submarine cable on August 20, connecting Japan, the Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia. Hong Kong will be added to the network next year.
ASE operates at 40 gigabits a second and can carry data at more than 15 terabits a second. NTT will integrate the cable into the backbone of its tier-1 global IP network at first, and then its cloud-based network service, Arcstar Universal One. It will also integrate ASE’s routes into its Arcstar global leased line service.
NTT Com, the major investor in the system, partnered Philippine Long Distance Telephone, Telekom Malaysia and Singapore’s StarHub for the project.
The submarine cable, which is said to offer the lowest latency network service between Tokyo and Singapore, will ultimately use 100 gigabits a second technology. GTB
