Abstract:The submarine telecommunications industry has been successfully transmitting data over transoceanic distances on optical fibers for nearly twenty years, using direct current (DC) electrical power to high reliability submerged repeaters. The first regional scale science observatory, which will offer 1Gbit Ethernet data and 10 kW DC power transport over an 800 km long network, is under construction and will be in service in 2007-2008.
The technology selected for this project has demonstrated po… Show more
