Introduction
Subsea Connectivity is the backbone of international communications. Over 99% of the world’s Internet and voice traffic travels across submarine fiber optic cables, connecting continents and nations at terabit scale.
SolveForce specializes in connecting countries and nations together by integrating subsea capacity into International Ethernet, IP Transit, MPLS, and SD-WAN fabrics. This allows enterprises, governments, and service providers to operate with predictable latency, global redundancy, and secure, SLA-backed performance.
From New York to London, Los Angeles to Tokyo, Marseille to Mumbai, São Paulo to Miami, and Johannesburg to Dubai, SolveForce delivers subsea-powered WANs that keep enterprises connected across oceans.
I. What is Subsea Connectivity?
🌐 Subsea Fiber Cables
High-capacity fiber optic systems laid on the ocean floor, linking continents with terabits of bandwidth.
🛠️ Capacity Types
- Ethernet over SubseaInternational Private Line, E-LAN, and EVPL circuits.
- IP TransitGlobal routing tables extended via subsea capacity.
- Wavelength Services10G, 100G, 400G, and emerging 800G/1T wavelengths.
- Dark FiberIRU leases for enterprises and carriers needing raw subsea strands.

III. Subsea + WAN Integration
A. With International Ethernet
- Subsea Ethernet Private Lines (EPL/EVPL) interconnect data centers across continents.
- International E-LAN services unify multi-country Layer-2 WANs.
B. With IP Transit
- Subsea paths feed global Internet exchanges (IXPs) for low-latency peering.
- Supports BGP-based optimization for best path routing internationally.
C. With MPLS International
- Subsea circuits extend MPLS backbones into new regions.
- Maintains strict Class of Service (CoS) for real-time apps across oceans.
D. With SD-WAN International
- SD-WAN overlays steer traffic across diverse subsea paths.
- Dynamic failover keeps apps resilient even during cable cuts.
E. With Zero Trust Framework
- End-to-end encryption applied across subsea segments.
- Identity-aware policies extend to global endpoints.
IV. Subsea Capacity Speeds
| Tier | Symmetrical Speed | Global Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| 10 Gbps | 10,000/10,000 Mbps | Enterprise DC replication |
| 100 Gbps | 100,000/100,000 Mbps | Carrier-grade interconnect |
| 400 Gbps | 400,000/400,000 Mbps | Hyperscale fabrics, IXPs |
| 800 Gbps | 800,000/800,000 Mbps | Emerging subsea builds |
| 1 Tbps | 1,000,000/1,000,000 Mbps | Next-gen AI/ML, hyperscale backbones |

Key terms in plain language
Open a term for a concise explanation of language used on this page.
Fiber Internet
Internet delivered through strands of glass using light. Fiber commonly supports high capacity, low latency, and strong upload performance, but availability must be confirmed for the exact address.
Bandwidth
The amount of data a connection can carry in a given time, usually measured in Mbps or Gbps. More bandwidth supports more users, devices, and simultaneous applications.
Latency
The time it takes data to travel between two points. Lower latency improves voice, video meetings, cloud applications, gaming, and other real-time services.
Service-Level Agreement (SLA)
A provider’s written commitment covering service targets such as availability, response time, repair time, and sometimes financial credits when commitments are missed.
SD-WAN
Software-defined wide area networking. It manages multiple connections and chooses paths based on application needs, performance, and policy to improve resilience and control.
MPLS
Multiprotocol Label Switching, a private-network technology that directs traffic along managed paths. Organizations use it for predictable connectivity between locations.
Cloud Computing
Computing resources—such as applications, servers, storage, or databases—delivered from remote infrastructure and scaled as requirements change.
Zero Trust
A security model that does not automatically trust a user or device because of its location. Access is continuously verified and limited to what is necessary.
