Telstra is giving its network services in Asia Pacific a boost, with a dramatic increase in fibre capacity to its subsea infrastructure, following an alliance with Infinera.
Telstra has partnered with Ericsson and Ciena to offer a rapid restoration service on one of its busiest subsea cable routes in Asia.
Telstra has announced a new strategy – Telstra2022 – which is designed to simplify its operations and product set in the Australian market.
Ciena, Telstra and Ericsson have collaborated to achieve speeds over 61.5GHz spectrum on Telstra’s transmission network in Melbourne. The companies say that this demonstrates the highest spectral efficiency per fibre pair ever achieved in a live environment.
HONOLULU, USA – Telstra announced at the PTC conference in Hawaii that it has entered into agreements to invest in two new international subsea cable systems that will connect Hong Kong and the west coast of the United States.
The first investment will see Telstra partner to build the new Hong Kong Americas (HKA) cable that will connect Hong Kong to the US. Telstra will invest in a half fibre pair. Once completed, the HKA cable will help meet the increasing demand for connectivity between Greater China, ASEAN and the US.
The plans for an economic recovery will undoubtedly need vast levels of public and private investment.
