“I have been involved with SubOptic for over 20 years, so it is a great honor to be chairing the session on Marine Operations, Advancements and Cable Protection. It is undeniable, the importance that submarine cables play in providing the Global Critical Infrastructure that connects people and countries around the world, especially in these unique times. Therefore, advancements in the installation and maintenance of cables to ensure new cables are brought online quickly and maintained with minimum downtown, is more important than ever.
