As a part of global communication infrastructure, submarine cable network is highly professional and a niche branch. Submarine cable network and its system information has long been mastered by very few professionals in telecom carriers which makes people who are interested in submarine cable hard to access to more information of such field.

As we know, submarine cables form the mission critical backbone of the internet. Without the development and stable and cost-effective running of submarine cable networks, the internet will suffer from heavy cost and low speed. Therefore, for a wide perspective, all internet users have the intent to understand submarine cable networks in some degree, especially when the access to the internet is impacted by the cable outage due to natural disaster or breakdown.

The semi-closed status of submarine cable network and its significance to internet reveal dramatically contradictive with the open feature of internet, and to certain extent increase the cost of internet.
