Construction has commenced on the 9500km Japan-Guam-Australia Cable System (JGA), with completion expected in the fourth quarter of 2019.<\/p>\n

The cable will be owned by a consortium comprising RTI Connectivity, AARNet, Google, Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN) and NEC. ASN and NEC are building the system.<\/p>\n

JGA South, the segment between Sydney and Piti in Guam, is being built by a consortium that comprises AARNet, Google and RTI-C. JGA North (JGA-N) between the Minami-Boso, Japan, and Piti will be owned solely by RTI-C. The two systems will interconnect in Guam.<\/p>\n

AARNet CEO Chris Hancock said his company’s investment in JGA would complement its investment in the Indigo subsea cable system, providing connectivity into North and South-East Asia and allow Australian universities to have unconstrained access to meet the big data challenges of the future<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
