Fujitsu Signed the Contract for the Upgrade of Japan-US Cable Network
May 15, 2007 — Fujitsu Limited today announced that it has signed the contract for the upgrade of the Japan-US Cable Network, a submarine
fiber-optic cable system, with a consortium represented by seven telecommunications carriers, including AT&T Corp, KDDI Corporation,
NTT Communications Corporation, Qwest Communications International Inc., Reach Global Networks Ltd, Softbank Telecom Corp.,
and Verizon Business. With this transpacific contract, Fujitsu's FLASHWAVE S650 submarine line terminal equipment will be
implemented at three landing points each in Japan and the US.
The FLASHWAVE S650 series is capable of providing a significant capacity upgrade to existing systems, more than doubling the
original design capacity of 640 gigabits per second (640 Gbps) of the Japan-US Cable Network beyond 1.28 terabits per second
(1.28 Tbps)(1). The equipment was selected based on our customers' high evaluation of the product's compact size, multiplex
transmission capability, low power consumption and extremely high reliability next to none.
