The Pacific Caribbean Cable System is a critical underwater communications cable that spans over 8,000 kilometers, connecting the Pacific and Caribbean regions. It's a vital link for global communication and data transfer.
This cable system plays a significant role in facilitating international communication and trade between the Pacific and Caribbean regions. It's used by major telecommunications companies to provide high-speed internet and phone services to millions of people.
The Pacific Caribbean Cable System is designed to be highly resilient and fault-tolerant, with multiple fiber optic cables and diverse routing to minimize the impact of outages. This ensures that communication remains uninterrupted, even in the event of a cable cut or other disruption.
With its extensive reach and high-capacity design, the Pacific Caribbean Cable System is a key component of the global telecommunications infrastructure.

Cable Details
The Pacific Caribbean Cable System (PCCS) is a 6000km long cable project.
It's backed by five operators, including Telefonica, Cable & Wireless, Setar, UTS, and Telconet.
The cable project is expected to be completed in Q3 2014.
A construction & maintenance agreement (CMA) was signed last November by the five operators involved.
Alcatel-Lucent has been chosen to supply 100G technology on the route.
The move is expected to bring additional capacity and connectivity to several underserved countries in Latin and Central America.
The cable will be landing in the north part of the region to increase redundancy.
It's also equal distance away from Atlanta and Miami, making it easier to deliver traffic to those major data centre hubs.
The cost of getting from the landing station to the PoP in the city will comprise a much greater portion of the total cost.
