The Russia-Japan Cable Network (RJCN) is a significant submarine cable system designed to enhance telecommunications connectivity between Russia and Japan, as well as provide broader access to global networks. This high-capacity cable system is poised to support the growing demand for data transmission between Asia and Europe, facilitating better communication and connectivity for businesses and individuals.
The RJCN was officially ready for service in mid-2020, marking a major milestone in the development of international telecommunications infrastructure in the region. The cable features multiple landing stations strategically located to optimize connectivity and data transfer capabilities.
The main cable landing stations for the RJCN are:
The total capacity of the RJCN is approximately 60 terabits per second (Tbps), which allows for the transmission of vast amounts of data simultaneously. This capacity is essential for supporting high-bandwidth applications such as streaming services, cloud computing, and other data-intensive operations.
The expected lifespan of the cable is around 25 years, ensuring that it will remain a vital asset in international telecommunications for decades to come. The RJCN is designed with advanced technology to enhance durability and reliability, minimizing maintenance requirements and service interruptions.
