"capacity on more than 70 subsea cable systems"

Subsea cable systems are long networks of fiber-optic cables laid on the ocean floor that carry the vast majority of international internet, phone and data traffic—think of them as underwater highways for digital information. They matter to investors because ownership, access or damage to these cables affects connectivity, revenue and costs for telecoms, cloud and media companies; they require large upfront investment, long-term contracts and can create strategic advantages or risks when service is disrupted.

direct-to-mobile satellite communications service technical

"developing a new direct-to-mobile satellite communications service"
