Cable upgrade in record time Mitsubishi Electric Corporation has completed work on the India-Middle East-Western Europe (IMEWE) cable network. The installation of submarine line terminal equipment in eight countries has upgraded the submarine cable network with 40Gbps dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) technology. The IMEWE cable system was commissioned in 2010 as a 10Gbps DWDM system, linking India to Europe via the Middle East. The system, of around 12,090km with 10 terminal stations, is owned by a consortium of leading telecom carriers in India, Pakistan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Lebanon, Italy and France. The cable system comprises three optical fibre cable pairs with two fibre pairs on an express path, as well as a terrestrial link connecting the cities of Alexandria and Suez in Egypt. Network demand in these areas is expected to grow rapidly in line with economic development in India and the Middle East, hence the deployment of 40Gbps technology. Mitsubishi Electric has incorporated forward error correction and high-speed coherent technologies to terminal equipment, boosting transmission capacity.
