…highlighted in his presentation, submarine operators shouldn’t be satisfied with a lowest-price sales model.  By using optical switching and intelligent mesh networking, operators can significantly improve the resiliency and survivability of their networks and up-sell premium SLA services…

This paper discusses the challenges and solution for building highly resilient and available subsea networks using industry standards-based intelligent control plane technology. It explores the migration path toward mesh networking, and examines how networks are evolving toward a global mesh to improve network survivability, increase network automation, and reduce costs.
