Submarine cable connecting M'sia and SEA to US ready Nov 10, 2009
With an initial equipped capacity of 500 Gigabits per second, the submarine cable network is upgradeable using field tested Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) technology, which enables it to provide upgradeable future transmission facilities that support internet and e-commerce traffic. The cable network complements existing cable systems such as the Asia Pacific Cable Network 2 (APCN 2) and Japan-US Cable Network currently connecting to North America via North Asia.

Cable Show 2009: Aurora Rolls In RF-Over-PON Apr 1, 2009
According to the company, MSOs can transport eight wavelengths in the 1310-nm window, allowing them to use CWDM and DWDM technologies to add another 12 or more wavelengths. One fiber can now carry both the upstream and the downstream traffic; previously, cable operators had to dedicate two fibers to do this. (Multichannel News)
