The repair of the Asia-Africa-Europe 1 (AAE-1) cable was also rescheduled to take place from February 2 to February 12, instead of February 3. Its capacity is expected to be fully recovered on late February 12.
The IA cable system, stretching 6,800km, connects Singapore, Vietnam, the Philippines, Hong Kong (China) and Japan. With designed transmission speeds of 3.84 Tbps, it is an important cable transferring data from Vietnam and other Asian destinations to America and Europe.
AAE-1, put into use in July 2017, is about 23,000km long and has a minimum design capacity of 40 Tbps.
