Rise in Data Traffic:
With the rise of digitalization, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT), there is a growing need for high-speed and reliable connectivity across the globe. Submarine cable systems provide global internet connectivity with unparalleled speed and bandwidth capabilities. These undersea cables provide a massive capacity for data transmission, ensuring efficient and high-performance internet connectivity.
According to Ericsson, the total global mobile data traffic—excluding Fixed Wireless Access (FWA)—was accounted to be ~130 exabytes (EB) per month by 2023. This figure is expected to grow nearly threefold and reach 403 EB per month by 2029. Along with FWA, the total mobile network traffic was estimated to be ~160 EB per month by 2023 and is expected to rise ~563 EB per month by 2029. Therefore, the adoption of XR-type services, including AR, VR, and mixed reality (MR), is likely to propel in the latter part of the forecast period. In addition, video traffic is estimated to represent 73% of all mobile data traffic by the end of 2023. Thus, the demand for undersea communication cables is rising due to the advancements in cable technology, including the deployment of higher-capacity cables and the implementation of advanced transmission techniques, thereby enhancing global connectivity. By leveraging these innovations, businesses focus on improving communication capabilities and enhancing access across global networks to manage growing data traffic.

Rising Investments in Submarine Cable Infrastructure:
Submarine communication cables account for 90% of worldwide data transmission, with a total carrying capacity measured in terabits per second. Many prominent OTT and submarine cable service providers, such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, place a high importance on underwater cable infrastructure. For instance, in October 2023, KKR (a private equity firm) made an investment of US$ 400 million in OMS Group (a prominent telecommunication infrastructure company specializing in subsea cable services). This investment is expected to raise the revenue generated by OMS Group. A major portion of its investment is focused on the development of its fleet and infrastructure to increase its size and capabilities. The investment is also made in cable landing stations and subsea cable routes to meet customer needs for fast-growing cross-border data transmission.

Technology Landscape:
Source: The Insight Partners’ Analysis
- The rising need for bandwidth is driving the demand for undersea fiber optic cables to scale up across the countries.
- Modern submarine cables employ fiber-optic technology with lasers on one end and receptors on the other, encased in layers of plastic or steel wires. Lasers fire at extremely high speeds along tiny glass fibers to project on the receptors.
- Traditional subsea cables draw power from the coast. As data flows over the cable, the optical signal for each fiber pair is amplified by a specific set of pump lasers. With the use of Space-Division Multiplexing (SDM) technology, subsea cable networks help in meeting the growing demand by increasing the number of fibers in the cable, resulting in higher total capacity at a lower cost per bit.
- Multi-core Fiber (MCF) technology has evolved from single-core optical fibers. Google and NEC are working together to implement it on the Taiwan–Philippines–US cable, a new system that would connect Taiwan, the Philippines, Guam, and California through regional carriers Chunghwa Telecom, Innove (a subsidiary of Globe Group), and AT&T. This is a first for the submarine cable industry. The application of MCF in submarine networks is a crucial milestone for next-generation systems with larger capacity, more efficient connection, and lower cost/bit.
