Consortium to build subsea cable system linking Hong Kong, US.
The Hong Kong-Americas (HKA) consortium is building a subsea cable system linking Hong Kong and the US, which will stretch more than 13,000 kilometres.

Expected to be completed in 2020, the network would comprise six fibre pairs and connect from Chung Hom Kok in Hong Kong, to Hermosa Beach in California. The consortium said it inked a contract with Nokia's Alcatel Submarine Networks to build the subsea system, which would provide further connectivity options between the two regions should these be activated in future.

The HKA consortium included China Telecom, China Unicom, Facebook, Tata Communications, and Telstra as key members.

The subsea system would showcase Alcatel Submarine Networks' next-generation repeaters WSS (wavelength selective switch) ROADM (reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer) and was touted to support more than 80Tbps data transmission capacity. It also would be compatible with future submarine terminals equipped with Probabilistic Shaping technology.
