Live Webinar | Thursday, May 15 |  9:00am ET

Satellite technology creates a host of new network access options for the telecommunications industry. With upwards of 70,000 modern low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites expected to be launched in the next five years, new and unprecedented levels of redundancy and resiliency will be achieved in global networking. LEO satellites promise to transform the economics of connecting traditionally unserved areas, opening opportunities for operators and nations alike to further shrink the digital divide. However, LEO has many limitations, especially compared to submarine cable networks, so what’s the right technological combination of LEO satellites and submarine cables to create a complementary global network?

Join Ciena, TeleGeography, and Colt Technology Services for an expert discussion on the future of satellites and submarine cables in global telecommunications.

Topics will include:

  • Speed, capacity, and latency limits of satellites versus submarine cables
  • Redundancy and resilience for improved diversity in space and undersea
  • How geopolitical tensions could impact submarine cables and satellite networks
  • Where, when, and how to blend LEO satellites and submarine cables for complementary value
  • How LEO satellite and submarine cable technology will evolve in the coming years
