Submarine Cable Salvage

Caribbean Express (CX) - is a new build submarine cable system that is being developed by Ocean Networks. 

The carrier neutral CX system will connect Points of Presence between West Palm Beach (Florida) and Balboa (Panama) with branch connections to Mexico and Colombia. In addition, the system will have future connectivity to Cuba, Grand Cayman, Guatemala, Jamaica, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica.

​

The CX system will utilize the latest Space Division  Multiplexing (SDM) technology and have 18 fiber pairs at a minimum of 20Tbit per fiber pair.

Submarine Cable Salvage is owned and operated​ by Ocean Networks and is funded through a private investment group with a focus on protecting the environment.

​

On a global scale, Submarine Cable Salvage repurposes Out Of Service (OOS) submarine cable systems for the Ocean Science community. We identify, procure, survey & test the OOS systems and deploy cabled ocean observatories (sensors) for 

environmental studies and disaster mitigation.

Repurposing OOS submarine cable systems is a
cost effective and environmently friendly solution for ocean observatories.
