Wednesday 4 June 2025
Expo Floor - Innovation Zone
Innovation Theatre

With the increase of data centre builds in a divergence of data centre locations, global connectivity demands have escalated. Hyperscalers are increasingly dependent on fast, reliable connections to support their data-heavy services. This session will discuss how terrestrial and subsea networks are developing to meet data centre demand.  

  • How does subsea cabling influence global digital transformation, and what strategies are being implemented to ensure seamless connectivity between subsea and terrestrial data centers?   

  • How important are carrier-neutral subsea landing stations to the health and effectiveness of the international wholesale capacity market? 

  • How are the development of high-capacity routes and the increasing availability of dark fibre enabling developing regions to become leading data centre destinations?
