SEA-US Cable System

See How We’ve Helped Lead the Way

The Project

Hawaiian Telcom is a partner in the Southeast Asia-U.S. (SEA-US) Trans-Pacific Fiber Submarine Cable System, which connects Indonesia, the Philippines, Guam, Hawai‘i and California.


This cable system provides an initial 20 terabit per second (Tbps) capacity, with state-of-the-art 100 Gigabit per second (Gbps) technology. As demand for capacity continues to grow and existing networks age, the SEA-US cable system plays a huge role in the future of bandwidth.


Extending more than 9,300 miles, the SEA-US cable system follows a route that has been designed to bypass congested and earthquake-prone regions and ensure stable connectivity.

Benefits

We’re proud to be a partner in this exciting project, which offers a very real solution to the exponential growth in demand for bandwidth.

The fastest cable system connecting Southeast Asia and the U.S. with connectivity to other existing and planned cable systems.

Backed by expansive and redundant terrestrial networks connecting cable stations in Guam and Hawai‘i.

Terminates in the Telecom District of downtown Los Angeles, providing strategic access to a major communications hub.

Utilizes a route that bypasses earthquake-prone areas of East Asia, including the Luzon Strait for improved route reliability.
