Submarine Communications

Submarine communications involve using undersea cables to transmit data across oceans, enabling global internet, phone calls, and data exchange. These cables are high-capacity fiber-optic lines laid on or buried beneath the seabed, protected by insulating materials and protective layers. They connect continents, allowing rapid, reliable communication over vast distances. Maintenance and repair are specialized tasks, often requiring ships to access the cables. Submarine communication cables are vital for international connectivity, supporting commerce, information sharing, and emergency communications worldwide.
