Trans-atlantic fibre bandwidth

[mattrix100]

Does anyone happen to know roughly the bandwidth (Mb/s Gb/s) of trans-atlantic fibre cable?

Thanks

although I think this is pacific coast to Aus/NZ/Asia

that's just one project i recall from my student days, due around 2000. Probably more by now

The other thing much used these days is Wave Division Multiplexing.

In very simple terms it increases the capacity of an exisiting fibre optic link by using different wavelengths of light over the same fibre.

To answer your original qu. do a search on TAT - I think 14 was the last trans-atlantic fibre laid.

do you mean Wavelength Division Multiplexing?

I do bob - it's just what we called it when I worked with it !
