Abstract :
Project Oxygen is a visionary network, which win be constructed in phases and connect more than 50 countries with up to 160,000 km of new undersea fiber-optic cable. The network will integrate the newest and most sophisticated technologies for providing ubiquitous end-to-end customer telecommunications services. In this paper we review these technologies and their application to Project Oxygen.
