Space Division Multiplexing provides efficient capacity increase compared to competing technologies. Existing state of the art submarine repeaters cannot exceed 16-18 fiber-pairs.ย The Subphoton's High Fiber Count Repeater supports up to 48 fiber pairs in a unique compact housing able to match any cable design.
In 2025 a new 24-fiber-pair submarine repeater designed to operate over the ๐ฆ๐๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ (6 THz) was introduced into Subphoton's portfolio. With this advancement, submarine links can reach transmission capacities ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ญ ๐ฃ๐ฏ๐ฝ๐, supporting the evolution of high-capacity space division multiplexing systems.
Our reconfigurable Branching Unit provides the flexibility telecom operators require during the lifespan of a submarine system. It is capable of switching and re-routing entire fibers or single wavelengths. Highly reliable and low cost, it is completely managed from our Element Manager.
The open Wetplant Interface is located at the landing stations and it is the gateway between SubPhoton's submarine devices and the terrestrial optical network and management system.
