Verizon Customers gain Much Needed Capacity

With the announcement of submarine cable SEA-ME-WE4's upgrade to 40 Gbps, Verizon customers doing business in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East will be able to immediately meet their needs for more capacity and take advantage of improved performance and better scalability.

"SEA-ME-WE4 is a major link connecting Southeast Asia to Europe through the Middle East - critical regions to our multinational customers," said Ihab Tarazi, Vice-President of Global Network Planning for Verizon. "With the phenomenal growth we are seeing in these areas, SEA-ME-WE4 will provide the much-needed capacity without the time and cost of laying new cable."

SEA-ME-WE4 is the fourth project in the SEA-ME-WE (South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe) series and links Southeast Asia to Europe through the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East. The system was launched in 2005 and uses DWDM (dense wavelength division multiplexing) to carry voice, data, Internet and various broadband applications. The 20,000-kilometre (12,427 miles) SEA-ME-WE4 system is the longest submarine cable system to deploy 40 Gbps technology, the highest wavelength capacity currently available on such systems.

Of the 16 members of the consortium that developed the SEA-ME-WE4 system, Verizon is the only U.S.-based service provider that was an initial member. In addition, Verizon is a landing/terminal party for the submarine cable system in Marseilles, France. The SEA-ME-WE4 is a key component in Verizon's sophisticated mesh network architecture, which covers 14 transoceanic routes and combined 40,000-plus miles of ultra-long-haul network in the U.S.
