Information about the international undersea cable route ADC (Asia Direct Cable) has just been announced on April 19. The cable route with the largest bandwidth capacity among Vietnam’s currently exploited cable routes will be landed in Quy Nhon, Binh Dinh, connecting from Singapore to Japan and passing through many Asian countries and territories.
ADC fiber optic cable has an underground cable length of 9,800 km, with a capacity of over 140 Tbps. Thus, the new fiber optic route will have a bandwidth 3 times larger than APG (54.8 Tbps bandwidth), the highest capacity route currently going through Vietnam.
