About Submarine Fiber Cable
Submarine fiber cables are underwater cables that are laid on the seabed between land-based stations to carry telecommunication signals over large stretches of the ocean. These cables, along with repeaters, are used to amplify the signals and to make long-distance communication easier. These cables are mainly used to connect two countries, islands, or continents and to ensure fast and reliable communication system between them. These cable laying projects typically take months or years to complete, depending on the length and complexity of the project.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global submarine fiber cable market to grow at a CAGR of 4.88% during the period 2017-2021.
