The APG Submarine Cable, with a total length of approximately 10,900 km, is owned by a consortium of 13 members* and features 100 Gigabit per second (Gbps) optical transmission capabilities that deliver a capacity of more than 54Tbps.

"NEC is honored to have been selected as the supplier for APG," said Shunichiro Tejima, Executive Vice President and Head of the Telecom Carrier Business Unit at NEC Corporation.
