As per the system design and construction deal, Huawei Marine will deploy its optical amplifier that supports up to 6 fiber pairs and utilizes a slim-line titanium housing to reduce the operational costs.

There will be connection to terrestrial based networks to access to countries such as Laos and Myanmar.
