At PTC 2026 in Hawaii, APTelecom shared insights into the rapid growth of the subsea cable market, identifying three key drivers behind new system development.
These include the need for greater route diversity, the replacement of ageing infrastructure, and increasing demand driven by artificial intelligence. The company also reflected on its evolution over the past 16 years, growing into a full-service consultancy that supports submarine cable projects from feasibility through to commercialisation and project management.
As part of the discussion, APTelecom provided updates on its Central Pacific initiatives, including the successful landing of Tuvalu’s first submarine cable in 2025. The company also highlighted a new agreement valued at over 3 million dollars with the U.S. Trade and Development Agency to support a feasibility study for a cable connecting India and Southeast Asia.
