Pipe Pacific Cable

Pipe Pacific Cable

Pipe Pacific Cable (PPC-1) is a yet to be commissioned submarine cable network, currently under construction for Australia's PIPE Networks.

It promises huge international backhaul cost savings to Australian customers, for access to the US internet backbone [ [http://michaelwyres.com/2008/01/more-bandwidth-for-australia/ More Bandwidth for Australia] ] , quoting up to "50% savings" versus existing cable operators [ [http://www.australianit.com.au/story/0,,23054557-5013040,00.html ISPs Get Slice of Guam Cable] ] .

Capacity

Quoting directly from Pipe International's PPC-1's Blog, substantial capacity will be available on the submarine cable network [ [http://www.pipeinternational.com/index.php?option=com_myblog&show=Welcome-To-Pipe-International.html&Itemid=65 Welcome to the PPC-1 Blog] ] :

"PPC-1 will be configured primarily as a two optic-fibre pair system however it will include up to an additional 4 optic fibre pairs providing the potential to install spurs extending to a number of strategic locations within and outside of Australia. The main backbone will be laid in deep water with landings in Sydney, Australia and Piti, Guam. The main segment of the network will cover approximately 6,500km. It will use the latest submarine wave division multiplexing to provide up to 96x10Gbps wavelengths on each fibre pair, producing a total of 1.92 Terabits of capacity."

Progress

Current progress is limited mainly to terrestrial aspects of the network, including land-based fibre runs, and data centre construction and fitout. Much of the survey work is also complete [ [http://www.pipeinternational.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=22&Itemid=66 PPC-1 Progress] ] .
