Finally.
Via: ZDnet:
The 14,000km subsea cable connecting Australia and New Zealand to Hawaii and the West Coast of the United States has finally commenced construction, almost three years after first being announced.
The cable will be jointly constructed by Hawaiki Submarine Cable, based in Auckland, and TE SubCom, a company from Eatontown, New Jersey. According to the two companies, they began route planning in June last year, and expect completion of the project by mid-2018.
The cable, which has the option to extend to several South Pacific islands along the route via TE SubCom’s optical add/drop multiplexing (OADM) nodes, will have a capacity of over 30 Terabits per second (Tbps). The cable makes use of TE SubCom’s C100U+ Submarine Line Terminating Equipment (SLTE).
