The Vietnam Telecom International (VTI)company, a member of VNPT, on Nov. 27 inaugurated Vietnam’s hook uppoint for a 20,000 km submarine optical cable network that will connectthe country, along with seven other countries across the Asia Pacificregion with the US.
The Asian America Gateway ( AAG) network, which is designed to providea capacity of up to two Terabits of data per second, will supplementexisting cable systems.
It will link up ten locations in eight countries and territoriesincluding Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, Hong Kong,the Philippines and Guam with Hawaii and California in the US. Later itwill probably incorporate other countries such as Australia and India.
With an initial capacity of 500 Gigabits per second, the undersea cablenetwork can be upgraded using field tested Dense Wavelength DivisionMultiplexing (DWDM) technology, which will enables it to provideupgradeable transmission facilities that can support internet ande-commerce traffic in the future.
The agreement to lay the new AAG cable network was reached in April 2007 in Malaysia.
