Xtera Completed the Marine Installation of Its Second Repeatered Subsea Cable System Project

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwired - Jan 18, 2016) - Xtera Communications, Inc. ( NASDAQ : XCOM ), a leading provider of high-capacity, cost-effective optical transport solutions, today announced the completion of the marine installation of its second repeatered submarine cable system that was deployed in the last quarter of 2015 in the Atlantic Ocean. Xtera completed testing of all the fiber pairs between the two landing sites in the fourth quarter of 2015. All of Xtera's work has been completed on schedule.

The approximately 1,500 km long cable system is built with Xtera's Raman-based repeaters offering multiple optical transmission benefits, including wider spectrum, better noise performance, longer repeater spacing and higher tolerance to strong increases in span loss compared with repeaters based on erbium-doped fiber amplifiers.

"This new repeatered project has been deployed after the successful upgrade of the High capacity, Undersea Guernsey Optical-fiber (HUGO) subsea cable system connecting Porthcurno (UK), Guernsey (UK) and Lannion (France), where Xtera's next generation wideband repeaters were inserted into the existing cable plant to increase system capacity," said Stuart Barnes, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Xtera Submarine Business. "Our innovative repeater adds nicely to our portfolio of flexible solutions for building new subsea infrastructure, upgrading existing cable assets under water, or recovering and re-laying existing cable assets and confirms Xtera's position as a global turnkey supplier for the subsea cable system industry."

Xtera pioneered Raman optical amplification in long-haul optical transmission infrastructure with its Wise Raman™ solution that offers unrivalled optical transmission performances, unparalleled optical spectrum and operational excellence with a seamless integration of Raman amplification into optical networks. In April 2013, Xtera launched the industry's first optical wideband repeater featuring Raman amplification for long-haul subsea cable systems. The new repeater adds nicely to Xtera's turnkey solutions for building new subsea cable systems or upgrading existing wet plant, including repeater replacement or re-lay of decommissioned cable systems.
