With the rapid development of communication technology, the sea cable optical cable is widely used, according to the relevant data, the sea optical cable currently assume nearly 90% of the communication transmission task, because the submarine optical cable in the submarine laying, so maintenance is more difficult, the current The main method is to use small robot detection and repair, although the probability of communication failure is not high, but the cable once the communication failure, the economic losses are great, recently, Somalia a sea cable cable failure, direct loss $ 10 million, as follows:

According to the government, the Internet disruption was caused by a breakdown of the cable cable two weeks ago and was spending $ 10 million a day in Somalia.

"After losing our service, we lost $ 130 million in the last two weeks," said EngAbdi Anshur Hassan, Minister of Posts and Telecommunications of Somalia.

Hassan pointed out that the repair of the submarine optical cable has commenced and services are expected to recover this week. This submarine optical cable connects Somalia to Kenya and is put into operation in 2013. Officials accused a merchant ship of breaking the cable. In addition, due to a submarine cable was cut off, the Congo in June also suffered a 15-day Internet service interrupted.

According to the International Telecommunication Union, only 1.6% of the Somali population was able to access the Internet in 2014. As a response to the Al-Shabaab radicals, the Somali government cut off its southern 3G services in 2014. In addition, for many Somalis, satellite Internet services are slow and expensive.

According to the relevant expert analysis, the sea cable because of the core technology constraints, is still a blue ocean market, but with the prosperous, light and other manufacturers began to set up submarine cable research and development, submarine cable research and development and laying technical problems, plus Huawei's marine repeater, submarine optical cable will soon usher in a wave of development peak.

The above is a brief introduction to the Somali submarine optical cable, learn more about the contents of the optical cable, please pay attention to kingsignal official website.
