NSW has been manufacturing underwater cables since 1899 and laid its first transatlantic submarine telecommunication cable in 1904, approximately 7,993 kilometres in length. Since then, NSW has established itself as one of the leading turnkey suppliers for providing state-of-the-art submarine cable systems worldwide.
The increasing complexity of data transmission requirements (platform-to-platform, platform-to-subsea control system and platform-to-shore), challenging technologies like ‘free-floating’ platforms or sub-sea exploration, and the need for higher levels of system reliability, have resulted in the development of new telecommunication system solutions for the offshore industry. Using Prysmian/NSW technology, fibre-optic submarine networks can easily be adjusted to continuously changing business environments and can be incorporated into future engineering concepts.
