“…For reliability, modern cable systems now are designed in loops [6], i.e., two or more cable links need to be built between two cities, to avoid being ruptured simultaneously in one disaster, the cables need to be distanced as far apart as possible from each other, both inland and at sea. Of course, this increases the total cost of building the network.…”

Unpredictable natural disasters and human interventions could pose significant threats to the undersea cables of modern telecommunication networks. In this paper, we consider the network topology of the undersea cables and propose a rectangular network to prevent all the cable links from being damaged simultaneously. An optimization problem on the plane is formulated to minimize the total cost under the survivability constraints. The spherical geometry of the earth's surface complicate the problem, however, this paper provides guidance to the real world problem, and a methodology for discussing it.
