SUBMARINE CABLE

INTRODUCTION
Nowadays we have the possibility of accessing a large amount of information that
is hosted in data centers scattered around countries around the world, and yet,
despite the distances, we can access information almost instantaneously and use
applications in real time. Approximately 90% of Internet traffic circulates through
submarine cables that connect the five continents as they are authentic highways
that allow us to travel international communications (both voice and data) at high
speed.

BODY

In the beginning, these were copper cables designed by the German engineer
Werner von Siemens. Through these cables, most of the information that is
transferred through the network transits today, a fundamental element of our
civilization.

Since the first cable connecting the United Kingdom and France was laid under
the waters of the Channel, in 1852, this fundamental network for global
communications has not stopped growing. Today it reaches an estimated area of
900,000 kilometers. Despite the development of space satellites, another of the
pillars of human communications in these times, the cables are still those that
transmit most of the information.
CONCLUSION
The submarine telecommunications network is an integral part of modern society.
Since its establishment in the telegraph era, the network has extended around
the planet. Submarine fiber optic cables are those that work correctly for
broadband operation.
