Drawing on its heritage of technical innovation and industry recognized performance, the company deliv- ers the most reliable, high quality solutions to organiza- tions with undersea communications needs vital to their core mission. In more than five decades of operation, TE

TE SubCom’s global presence, backed by industry leading research and development laboratories, manufacturing facilities, installation and maintenance ships, depots, and management team work together to implement integrated solutions and network upgrades, with unsurpassed relia- bility, that support the needs of telecommunications, internet providers, offshore and science customers world- wide. TE SubCom (formerly Tyco Telecommunications) received its new corporate name in early 2010, enabling it to more closely align with its parent company and rein- force its commitment to designing, manufacturing, installing and maintaining the premier subsea cable sys- tems across the globe. Working under its new name, TE

SubCom continues to deliver the same services and inno- vative technological developments the industry has come to expect throughout the company’s robust history.

To meet the needs of the world’s increasing demand for highly reliable bandwidth capacity and marine services,

TE SubCom continues to develop and build on its world- class technology, with a commitment to forward-looking, customer-focused solutions, including delivering systems capable of carrying 40G transmission technology.

TE SubCom also remains committed to its research and development efforts for creating solutions to serve the oil and gas industry. With platforms continuing to move far- ther offshore and into deeper waters, the demand for reli- able and robust communications networks is ever-grow- ing. Using Optical Add/Drop Multiplexing (OADM) technology and its own developed suite of interconnect devices and submarine line terminal equipment, TE

SubCom deploys self-healing ring topologies, connecting rigs to rigs and rigs to shore.

In addition to its focus on traditional and offshore cable installation, TE SubCom offers complete marine support for undersea networks of any size, including route survey and engineering; cable installation; terrestrial construc- tions; cable data management; deep and shallow water repair; cable recovery and retrieval. The company’s fleet of
