BtoBE

The Bay to Bay Express Cable System ("BtoBE") is a 15,400 km trans-pacific optical fiber submarine cable system connecting Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the US.

Landing Stations:

  • Grover Beach, California;
  • Changi, Singapore;
  • Chung Hom Kok, Hong Kong SAR; and
  • Cherating, Malaysia.

Segments:

  • Segment A: Grover Beach-BU1 off Hong Kong. It will have a total length of 12,182 kilometers and consist of six fiber
  • pairs.
  • Segment B: BU1-Changi, Singapore. It will have a total length of 2,236 kilometers and consist of five fiber pairs.
  • Segment C: BU1-Chung Hom Kok, Hong Kong. It will have a total length of 612 kilometers and consist of nine fiber pairs.
  • Segment D: BU2-Cherating, Malaysia. It will have a total length of 363 kilometers and consist of four fiber pairs.

Design Capacity

  • California - Hong Kong:90 waves x 200 Gbps (or equivalent) per fiber pair.
  • California - Singapore:  80 waves x 200 Gbps (or equivalent) per fiber pair.
  • California - Malaysia: 80 waves x 200 Gbps (or equivalent) per fiber pair.

The BtoBE consortium composes of China Mobile International, Facebook ( by its wholly-owned, direct subsidiary Edge USA) and Amazon (by its wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary Vadata). The BtoBE cable system is supplied by NEC and is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2020.

In light of U.S. Government policy with respect to direct connections between the United States and Hong Kong, the BtoBE consortium withdrew the application for cable landing license on September 10, 2020. 

The Bay to Bay Express (“BtoBE”) cable system has been reconfigured as the CAP-1 cable system, connecting the United States and the Philippines.
