- Abstract
PPC-1 Sydney Guam PIPE Pacific Cable (PPC1) provides a third Internet gateway for Australia. A branching unit to Madang will be an initial connection for PNG to connect to the Internet via this pathway. The PPC-1 undersea submarine cable which runs from Guam to Sydney provides a third high speed international gateway to Australia. A branching unit to Madang will be an initial connection for PNG providing a total bandwidth capacity of 10Gbps enabling high speed telecommunication traffic within PNG and also between PNG and the world. This paper presents the technical characteristics of the PPC-1 including the earlier submarine cable facilities.
