Satellite internet vs submarine cable.

And very low latency compare to satellite communication.
The submarine fiber optic cable system links tonga to fiji and is also the main trans pacific link between.
As you ll remember that s about a full petabit.
There they connected two ends of a 4 000 kilometer 2 500 mile long 1 5 centimeter 0 6 inch wide cable.
So there are two advantages that the submarine cable has over the communications satellite.
Unlike cable satellite internet is provided by a satellite provider.
Welcome to my prezi background underwater submarine cables laid on the sea bed between land based stations to carry telecommunication signals across stretches of ocean.
The myth i m exploring isn t if spacex could carry marea s traffic it s if they could carry half of used internet bandwidth in 2020.
Also data communication via a communications satellite is susceptible to weather conditions like rain or typhoons while submarine cables are not affected by the weather.
