The St. Pierre and Miquelon Cable Submarine Cable is a telecommunications cable that connects the islands of St. Pierre and Miquelon to the Canadian mainland. The cable is approximately 107 kilometers in length and was laid in 1999 by Bell Canada.
The cable is an important piece of infrastructure for the islands, as it provides reliable and high-speed internet and phone services. Prior to the installation of the cable, the islands relied on unreliable satellite links for their telecommunications needs.
The St. Pierre and Miquelon Cable Submarine Cable is a single fiber optic cable, with a capacity of 10 gigabits per second. It is engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of the North Atlantic, including strong currents, rough seas, and the threat of icebergs.
Overall, the cable has been a significant boost to the economic and social development of the islands, allowing for improved connectivity and communication with the rest of the world.
