Panel: What’s required for the global subsea network rearchitecting project?

The era of Hypercables and Petabit connectivity fabrics is upon us, ushered in by surging data demands. With 95% of global internet traffic reliant upon subsea cables, resiliency is now a priority, characterised somewhat by the bypassing of traditional hubs, and hybrid architectures are becoming more than just the exception to a rule. This panel will address the following questions and examine whether now is the perfect opportunity to reimagine subsea connectivity:

• With the geopolitical landscape, looming AI demand, and environmental concerns, is the submarine cable industry on the precipice?
• Is reliability now more important than new traffic routes? And how does serving a resiliency-only requirement present a new business opportunity?
• What cross-industry collaboration is required for sustainable E2E connectivity build out?
