Why a new cable from Western Australia into Asia?

(valeriepieris on Reddit)

4(OECD & Brookings Institute, “The Emerging Middle Class in

Developing Countries”, 2010)

Asia-Pacific region forecast to grow from 25% to 65% of total world ‘middle class’ population – the main driving group of economic growth

– during lifetime of the Trident cable system

8 active cables, plus 2 under construction connect into Sydney on eastern coast.

Only 1 existing cable (SMW-3) to western coast of Australia

SMW-3 is 15 years old, and almost full. It has been severed four times since Jan 2013, each time for 1 to 4 months.

Existing international cables

A new West Coast cable into Asia is needed to provide capacity, low latency and redundancy for future services and growth

SEA-ME-WE-3 unreliable

The existing SEA-ME-WE-3 cable has a history of faults/outages between Perth and Singapore

driving telcos and ISPs to find alternative transmission paths

SEA-ME-WE-3 is unreliable – many recent breaks, long repair times.

When SEA-ME-WE-3 breaks, all Australian traffic must re-route via the east-coast, causing congestion and long delays

Most SEA-ME-WE-3 breaks are caused by ships anchors snagging and snapping the cable in Indonesian waters.

Recent 25th September 2015 to 18th November 2015 – almost 3 months down, 4 separate breaks to be repaired.
