JUPITER is a submarine cable system that connects Asia-Pacific countries to the United States. The cable system is a collaboration between several major telecommunications companies, including NTT Communications, Softbank, Facebook, and Amazon.
JUPITER is a high-capacity cable system that spans approximately 14,000 kilometers and has a design capacity of up to 60 terabits per second. It connects several landing stations in Asia-Pacific, including Japan, the Philippines, Guam, and Australia, to two landing stations in the United States, one in Oregon and one in California.
The purpose of JUPITER is to provide high-speed, reliable connectivity between Asia-Pacific countries and the United States, enabling businesses and individuals to access and exchange data more efficiently. The cable system also aims to support the growth of cloud services and other digital technologies in the region.
JUPITER was completed in 2020 and is currently operational, providing crucial connectivity for businesses, governments, and individuals across the Asia-Pacific region and the United States.
