At PTC 2026 in Hawaii, APTelecom discussed the rapid growth of the subsea cable market, highlighting three key drivers behind new system development: the need for route diversity, replacement of aging infrastructure, and rising demand driven by artificial intelligence. The company also reflected on its own expansion over the past 16 years, growing into a full-service consultancy supporting submarine cable projects from feasibility through to commercialization and project management.
APTelecom provided updates on its Central Pacific initiatives, including the successful landing of Tuvalu’s first submarine cable in 2025, and discussed a new agreement valued at over 3 million dollars with the United States Trade and Development Agency to support a feasibility study for a cable connecting India and Southeast Asia.
