In 2019, my colleague Alan Mauldin and I busted the parable that the submarine cable business’s present practices would maintain our future capability necessities.
4 years later, we revisited the identical query throughout our telecom mythbusting session at SubOptic 2023.
Was the decision the identical?
This was our first time reevaluating a delusion, and two large issues have modified since our preliminary consensus.
In 2019, we have been seeing very quick development throughout the Atlantic. That’s modified just a little bit—not lots, however simply sufficient to make a distinction.
Secondly, SDM R&D was not as superior in 2019 as it’s at this time. Our present outlook for business provide capabilities is just a little rosier these days.
Watch the video under to see how these developments affected our delusion retest.
The Conclusion
Will the business’s present practices be sufficient to accommodate future capability necessities?
It is troublesome to say, as a result of it relies on exponential development and what occurs with SDM. For now, although, we will change our verdict from busted to believable.
Alan Mauldin and I tackled this delusion and 5 others throughout our presentation at SubOptic 2023. Obtain our slides for the complete breakdown.
