Abstract :
High reliability is expected of an undersea telecommunications network. The difficulties arise in easily repairing a failure. This expectation places rigorous demands on components that make up such a system. This presentation outlines how the reliability requirements and its assurance for undersea systems´ components has evolved over the era of optical communications
