Bangladesh Submarine Cable Company (BSCPLC) declared. Network services will be interrupted from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on 2 March to carry out maintenance work on the SEA-ME-WE-4 submarine cable.
SEA-ME-WE-4 is a fiber optic submarine cable important for communications in Bangladesh. This maintenance will seriously affect network services in Bangladesh.
The national bandwidth used by Bangladesh is approximately 5 000 Gbps, dont 2 700 Gbps are imported by India and 2 300 Remaining Gbps are provided by BSCPLC.
BSCPLC is the operator of two submarine cables SEA-ME-WE-4 and SEA-ME-WE-5.
BSCPLC says SEA-ME-WE-5 submarine cable in Kwakata will remain operational after SEA-ME-WE-4 outage. SEA-ME-WE-5 submarine cable in Kwakata will remain operational after SEA-ME-WE-4 cable outage. SEA-ME-WE-5 submarine cable in Kwakata will remain operational after SEA-ME-WE-4 cable outage.
Reasons for the Panne
Submarine Cable maintenance works are an effective way to ensure stable network connectivity. Much of the bandwidth will be affected during the maintenance period and users are advised to schedule their network activities in good time.
Maintenance work was also carried out on SEA-ME-WE-4 in 2021, due to a fault in the Chennai section of the cable, which resulted in a reduction in network access speeds and a drop in bandwidth of 250 Gbps to 90 Gbps.
Role Submarine Cable
Submarine Cable plays an irreplaceable role as essential communications infrastructure in the modern world.
It connects all parts of the world and supports international phone calls, the transmission of data and the exchange of information on the Internet.
With the advent of the digital age, Submarine Cables have become even more important pillars of the digital economy and scientific research.
Communications en Ressay Ttransoceanic
The Submarine Cable constitutes an important part of the global communications network, carrying the majority of international telephone calls and data transmissions.
Thousands of kilometers of underwater cable networks form a vast web that connects the entire world. With these cables, people can easily communicate across oceans for instant communication and information exchange.
The stability and high transmission speed of Submarine Cable guarantee the reliability and efficiency of the global communication network.
Transmission d’Iinformation via the internet
With the popularization of the Internet and the accelerated development of information technologies, the role of Submarine Cable has become more and more important. Many Internet users around the world find entertainment and information daily on the Internet..
Whether it's video, audio or email, the Submarine Cable allows them to be broadcast quickly throughout the world.
The high bandwidth and low latency of Submarine Cable guarantee a smooth user experience on the Internet and provide a strong impetus to the development of the digital economy.
The era Numeric
Submarine Cable plays an important role in the digital age. They are the basis for the digitalization of the world and support the operation and development of various digital applications.
From teleconferencing to telemedicine, the Submarine Cable constitutes a solid basis for this purpose.
Research Sscientific Marine
Before you can lay a submarine cable, numerous studies of the marine environment must be carried out. These include topographical surveys of the seabed, marine ecological studies, ocean climate and many other aspects.
The analysis of this marine data allows professionals to determine the route of the Submarine Cable according to different parameters..
Impacts Cdamaged by the interruption Submarine Cable
The Mice one Ressay
The Submarine Cable currently constitutes the main means of communication throughout the world. The range of network disruptions caused by submarine cable failures affects every aspect of daily life.
Phone calls, emails, instant messaging, video conferencing and other types of communication applications depend on the network for data transmission. Parallel, digital applications such as cloud services, online shopping and telemedicine also depend on the network.
When the submarine fiber optic cable is damaged, none of these applications can be used normally. This causes serious disadvantages for life and work.
Aspects ANDeconomical
Many multinationals, foreign trade companies, academic institutions, etc. are now distributed throughout the world. These institutions and companies must not only conduct trade and cooperate, but also organize online meetings, academic exchanges and other activities. These activities often rely on stable and reliable network communications.
If the failure of an undersea cable leads to network disruption, it may not be possible to manage online communications. It may not be possible to process online business and inquiries from company customers in a timely manner. This would result in a reduction in operational efficiency..

Measures of Protection
Optical fibers inside submarine cables are very fragile, and laying armor or sheath with high mechanical strength around the cable can effectively improve the anti-abrasion ability of Submarine Cable.
Strengthen fixing and sealing. Reduce damage caused by unstable connections due to loose or broken joints.
Technology the Surveillance
Currently, underwater surveillance technology is perfect. Regular inspections of the cable can be carried out by the intended subsea equipment to avoid possible risks through rapid troubleshooting.
Adding sensors on the cable can be implemented to monitor the operating status of the cable. In case of abnormal operation or alarm, maintenance personnel can be notified in time for repair.
Emergency repair
Establish a Perfect Emergency Response System. Activate alarms as soon as faults are detected on the Submarine Cable. Ensure rapid detection and treatment by maintenance personnel.
Equip professional maintenance team and repair tools. Ensure that after the occurrence of a fault, the staff goes to the site of the breakdown as quickly as possible to repair it. Restore network communication as soon as possible and reduce network downtime.
The Tthird Cable Sous-marin du Bangladesh
To meet growing network demand, the government of Bangladesh has decided to connect a third submarine cable. Bangladesh government has decided to connect a third submarine cable to increase bandwidth capacity.
Bangladesh connected to the first SEA-ME-WE-4 submarine cable in 2006 and the second submarine cable SEA-ME-WE-5 in 2017. These two submarine cables provide 27 TB of bandwidth in Bangladesh.
The third submarine cable access project SEA-ME-WE-6 led by BSCPLC was approved. It is planned to access it in Cox’s Bazar. The project is expected to be completed in 2025.
Until then, BSCPLC will operate three SEA-ME-WE-4 submarine cables, SEA-ME-WE-5 et SEA-ME-WE-6. This will significantly increase bandwidth capacity in Bangladesh.
