Subsea work begins on fiber-optic cable network in Southeast Alaska

摘要

Engineers skilled in laying undersea telecommunications cable will begin working in Southeast Alaska waters in July, placing 750 miles of fiber-optic cable on the ocean floor, GCI officials announced. For residents in Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Angoon, and Sitka, this means highspeed connections for Internet, phone, and video; in Juneau, residents will benefit from additional fiber-optic cable, creating a self-healing fiber ring within Southeast Alaska.
