Singapore's Vocus has announced that it will start the Australia-Singapore submarine cable system ASC two weeks ahead of schedule to transfer customers from the SEA-ME-WE3 (SMW3) submarine cable due to a "major service disruption"
between Singapore and Perth.
While the ASC is still in final testing after going live last week, Vocus CTO Simon Smith approved an early activation service on Wednesday, and engineers will continue to work on "full operation"
until Sept.
14.
"After consulting our team for final testing, we believe ASC is ready to provide reliable and effective service to mitigate the impact of the SMW3 outage," Smith said
.
"Although we have announced that ASC is ready for operation on September 14, our top priority is to ensure our customers continue to have the connectivity
they need.
The SMW3 outage forced us to go into service early, but thankfully, our testing of the ASC was brought forward and we are confident that the ASC will be able to provide service
early.
”
The $170 million 4,600-kilometer ASC submarine cable system is designed to deliver speeds of at least 40Tbps in four fiber pairs, aiming to "provide the latest, fastest and most direct route into Asia.
"
ASC completed laying in July, and Vocus said last week it had sold 2.
5Tbps of capacity on its submarine cable system to date, including "major OTT customers worldwide.
"
Earlier this week, Vocus also announced it would work with the Northern Territory government to build a submarine cable connecting Darwin with Australia's northern Tiwi Islands, which is expected to be completed
by the end of 2019.
