TSE-1
TSE-1 or Taiwan Strait Express 1 is the first submarine telecommunications cable directly linking Taiwan island and mainland China.[1][2] At 270km in length, the cable offers the shortest route between Taiwan and mainland China while avoiding seismically active zones prone to disruption during earthquakes.[3] TSE-1 was completed on January 18, 2013. Once activated, traffic between Taiwan and China will no longer have to be routed via the Asia-Euro Under-sea Optical Cable, the China-US Cable Network or the Asia Pacific Cable Network 2.[4]
Construction and operation of TSE-1 is overseen by a consortium of telecommunications companies from China and Taiwan. The consortium includes Taiwan International Gateway Corporation, China Mobile, Chunghwa Telecom, Taiwan Mobile, Far EasTone Telecommunications, and China Unicom.[3]
Total bandwidth design capacity of TSE-1 is 6.4 Tbit/s, consisting of eight fiber pairs.[3]
TSE-1 has landing points in:
- Changle, Fuzhou City, China
- Tamsui District, New Taipei City, Taiwan
