Cable Ship Prepares To Roll-out Fiji-Tonga Fiber-Optic Cable

摘要

The cable ship "Ile de Re" is preparing to roll out an 837km underwater fiber-optic cable line from Fiji to Tonga. The "Ile de Re", which arrived in Suva recently, is owned by Alcatel-Lucent, a French submarine fiber-optics Company. Alcatel-Lucent signed a deal with Tonga Cable Ltd last year to lay an underwater fiber-optic cable from Fiji to Tonga.
