The Carnival Submarine Network-1 (CSN-1) is a 4,500 km submarine cable connecting Ecuador, Panama, Colombia and the Florida West coast in the USA, including branching units to extend to Central and South America.
CSN-1 is developed by Telconet, the Ecuador-based infrastructure and telecom operator.
Telconet selects Alcatel Submarine Networks (ASN), turnkey submarine cable system supplier, to construct CSN-1.
The manufacturing phase of the wet and dry plant is now completed, cable loading and Marine operations are planned to be performed mainly first half 2025.
The cable will adhere to the industry’s Open Cable architecture, further supporting its goal to be carrier neutral and provide open access in each of the CSN-1 landing stations.
