The AAG fiber optic cable has just recovered, APG has a problem again

According to information from VNPT, on December 23, the AAG submarine cable route connecting from Hong Kong to Vietnam has been overcome but in the same day, the APG submarine cable route met the number on the branch from Vietnam Singapore caused about 10% of Internet traffic from Vietnam to be affected internationally.

From the beginning of 2017 until now, this is the second time the APG cable has encountered a problem, for the first time on June 20.

The cause of the incident has not been determined. Currently VNPT is actively coordinating with partners to learn and plan to fix incidents on the APG submarine cable route as soon as possible.

The APG international optical fiber route has a total length of about 10,400 km, which directly connects Asia - Pacific countries to major economies: the US, Australia, India and Africa. Since it was put into operation in mid-December 2016, APG is expected to contribute to a stable transmission with a larger capacity for Internet users in Vietnam, especially in the condition of sea cable routes. AAG has frequent problems.

With the ability to provide bandwidth up to 54 Tb / s, APG delivers approximately 20 times faster Internet speed than AAG.

APG is a sea cable line using the latest technology: 40Gbps / 1 wavelength (capable of switching to 100Gbps technology / 1 wavelength) that can meet exponential growth in Asia's broadband demand. .
