Crosslake Fibre has announced that it has begun its underwater marine survey for its Lake Ontario submarine fibre-optic cable project. The marine survey is a critical aspect of development for the new 60 km cable being developed by Crosslake Fibre across Lake Ontario.
Crosslake Fibre’s Lake Ontario project is an unrepeatered submarine fibre-optic cable system that will be the first system across Lake Ontario to directly connect Toronto, Canada and Buffalo, New York with dark fibre. The submarine cable is part of a 131 km high fibre count network to provide diverse, low latency connectivity to enterprises, content providers, and carrier customers between data centres in Toronto and the United States. The ready-for-service (RFS) date for the system is September 2018.
