Vietnam will join other partners in constructing the
Asia-Pacific Gateway (APG), a $500 million international fiber optical cable
system linking nine countries and territories in the region.
The construction contract was
signed in Beijing on December 21 between Vietnam Telecom International (VTI)
and its partners Chungwa Telecom from China, the KT Corporation from the
Republic of Korea, and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation from Japan.
The cable system will have a
total capacity of 54.8Tbps transferring from 40Gbps optical switching
technology.
By deploying the digital
coherent detection (DCD) and optical add-drop multiplexing (OADM) technologies,
APG enables the future system to be upgraded to 100Gbps to meet the ever
increasing data traffic in the region's mobile phone and internet markets.
The project, which is scheduled
to be completed in the second quarter of 2014, will provide customers with
direct and effective high-speed broadband connections.
