Filipino and foreign telcos are investing $300 million to build a submarine cable system in Southeast Asia that will upgrade local data capacities.
ALC is envisioned to be a 6,000-kilometer undersea cable system that will connect Hong Kong and Singapore as its trunk, with branches into the Philippines, Brunei Darussalam and Hainan, China. ALC is seen to provide additional hyper-capacity within Asia and boost resiliency for international traffic. It will have a minimum eight fiber pairs in the system, with 18 Tbps/Fiber Pair minimum trunk design capacity, adding more capacity and diversity to existing networks in the region.
