    History of SEA-ME-WE

    13/12/2009

    History of SEA-ME-WE

    South-East Asia - Middle East - Western Europe 1986, the first cable of the SEA-ME-WE series (SEA-ME-WE 1) was constructed using a coaxial cable designed to transmit telephone signals between Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. It was the longest telephone cable in the world spanning 13,585 km, and was the first cable to be laid in the Indian Ocean. The maximum bandwidth of the cable was calculated to be 25 MHz Due to higher demands of broadband and data transfer, leading to the construction of the SEA-ME-WE 2, 3 and 4 projects.

    SEA-ME-WE 2

    SEA-ME-WE 2

    South-East Asia - Middle East - Western Europe 2. The SEA-ME-WE 2 project was installed on October 18th, 1994. A fiber optic cable system, spanning 18,751 km, linking 13 countries and three continents. Peak capacity of the cable was 560 Mbps, which is approximately equal to the capacity of fifteen SEA-ME-WE 1 cables.

    SEA-ME-WE 3

    Introduction To SEA-ME-WE 3
    SEA-ME-WE 3 South-East Asia - Middle East - Western Europe 3.

    optical submarine telecommunication cable link and is the longest in the world stretches from North Germany to Australia and Japan.
    completed in late 2000.

    Introduction

    led by France Telecom and China Telecom, and is administered by SingTel. telecommunications operator owned by the Government of Singapore. Total length 39,000 kilometers (24,000 mi).

    Technology used in SEA-MEWE 3

    Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology is for transmission to increase capacity and enhance the quality of the signal, especially over long distances. WDM is a technology which multiplexes a number of optical carrier signals onto a single optical fiber by using different wavelengths (i.e. colors) of laser light.

    SEA-ME-WE 4

    SEA-ME-WE 4

    South East Asia-Middle East-West Europe 4 (SEA-ME-WE 4)

    It is the fourth project in the SEA-MEWE series. On 27th March 2004.

    SEA-ME-WE 4
    an optical fiber submarine communications cable. carries telecommunications between Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Egypt, Italy, Tunisia, Algeria and France.

    History of SEA-ME-WE 4
    SEA-ME-WE 4 cable system was developed by a consortium of 16 telecommunications companies which agreed to construct the project on 27 March 2004. Construction of the system was carried out by Alcatel Submarine Networks project was completed on 13 December 2005 with a cost estimate of US$500 million

    Network topology used in SEA-ME-WE 4


    The SEA-ME-WE 4 system is divided into four segments with seventeen landing points: Segments S1 - Tuas to Mumbai S2 - Mumbai to Suez S3 - Suez to Cairo S4 - Cairo to Marseille

    Countries linked through SEA-ME-WE 4


    Bangladesh India Pakistan Sri-Lanka Thailand Malaysia Singapore United Arab Emirates

    Sudan Egypt Italy Tunisia Algeria France Saudi Arabia

    Connecting Point of SEA-MEWE 4

    Length of SEA-ME-WE 4
    The cable is approximately 18,800 kilometers long. provides the primary Internet backbone between South East Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East and Europe.

    Technology used in SEA-MEWE 4

    Uses wavelength-division multiplexing WDM, allowing increased communications capacity per fiber.

    It also facilitates bidirectional communication within a single fiber.

    Advantages of SEA-ME-WE 4

    SEA-ME-WE-4 is used to carry telephone, internet, multimedia, broadband data. SEA-ME-WE 4 has a faster rate of data transmission at 1.28 Tbit/s against SEA-MEWE 3's 10 Gbit/s SEA-ME-WE 3 provides connectivity to a greater number of countries over a greater distance, but SEA-ME-WE 4 provides far higher data transmission speeds intended to accommodate increasing demand for highspeed internet access in developing countries

    Comparison Between SEA-MEWE 1 and SEA-ME-WE 2

    Faults in SEA-ME-WE 3

    12 December 2010, the cable was affected due to a cable break somewhere between the Alexandria and Sesimbra segments. The fault was later located 31 km from the Alexandria cable station. 10 January 2013, the cable was again affected, this time 1,126 kilometers from the Tuas cable station in Singapore, between repeaters 345 and 346.
