Repairs to three critical subsea cables in the Red Sea have begun after they were damaged in February, despite heightened regional conflict.
SUBSEA CABLE
The 2Africa subsea cable is the longest subsea cable in the world. At 45,000 km, more than the circumference of the Earth.
Subsea cables, commonly known as submarine cables, are extended wires laid on the ocean floor to transmit telecommunication signals.
Spanning over 10,000km, the cable system will establish a new route northeast of Australia via the Torres Strait.
