FLAG provided a link between the European end of high-density transatlantic crossings and the Asian end of the transpacific crossings. [5] FLAG includes undersea cable segments, and two terrestrial crossings. The segments can be either direct point-to-point links, or multi-point links, which are attained through branching units.
The list includes figures for both fixed wired broadband subscriptions and mobile cellular subscriptions: [6] Fixed-broadband access refers to high-speed fixed (wired) access to the public Internet at downstream speeds equal to, or greater than, 256 kbit/s.
All cables presently in service use fiber optic technology. Many cables terminate in Newfoundland and Ireland, which lie on the great circle route from London, UK to New York City, US. There has been a succession of newer transatlantic cable systems. All recent systems have used fiber optic transmission, and a self-healing ring topology.
Terrestrial cable may be subterranean (buried) or aerial (suspended from poles), and may be fiber or copper. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The term "terrestrial cable" is principally used to distinguish it from submarine cable , [ 3 ] although some overlap exists between the two.
