The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented disruption for businesses all over the world. Working at home has become the new normal, with teams switching to digital tools and platforms to stay in touch and collaborate.
At Telin, we fully endorse this trend as social distancing right now is the only possible way we have to combat the spread of COVID-19. Until a cure is developed, it’s very important to keep contact to a minimum. Fortunately, enormous advances have taken place in terms of building out global network connectivity that make this possible.
99% of Your Global Data Connection is Carried by Submarine Cables
Over the past decade, Telin has vastly expanded its global submarine cable network in order to better serve customers amounting to 207,260 km. This and other submarine cable networks carry some 99% of the world’s data traffic, making it possible for businesses to keep functioning remotely amid COVID-19.
At the same time, these cables are subject to disruptions, especially in earthquake prone zones and busy shipping areas where they sometimes experience breakage due to seismic disturbances and/or ship anchors dragging across the ocean floor. The area around the Sea of Japan, where the bulk of Asia-United States cables route through, is prone to both.
Diversify Your Connectivity to Ensure Business Continuity
In order to ensure that your business connection is maintained reliably and safely, Telin offers an alternative submarine cable connection route to the Hong Kong-United States route that all other cables take. This cable uses 100-gigabit wavelength technology for lightning speed with low latency. For businesses with a strong regional presence in Southeast Asia, it therefore makes sense to consider Telin’s SEA-US network, which directly integrates Southeast Asia with the rest of the globe.
