The GigNet-1 cable system is a 1,200 kilometers advanced subsea fiber optic cable system connecting Florida, the United States and Cancun, Mexico.
The GigNet-1 subsea cable system is a privately cable owned by FB Submarine Partners, LLC, in a partnership with GigNet, Inc. and its wholly-owned operting subsidiary GigNet S.A. de C.V. for access to the beach in Cancun and colocation in GigNet's Cancun cable landing station in Mexico.
Xtera was selected to serve as the primary EPC contractor for the GigNet-1 cable project, to provide the subsea wetplant consisting of the fiber and amplifiers (repeaters), the submarine line terminals in Florida and Mexico, and manage the installation.
The GigNet-1 cable project is expected to be completed in 2022.
