  • A new fiber optic cable is now in place between Philadelphia and New York to improve air traffic control telecommunications at the facility that handles flights in and out of Newark Liberty International Airport, following a busy Memorial Day weekend, the Department of Transportation said Wednesday.

A new fiber-optic cable, spanning 12,000 kilometers, is being laid across the ocean floor to enhance internet connectivity between Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. This project, named the "South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 6" (SEA-ME-WE 6), aims to increase data transmission speeds and capacity, supporting the growing demand for high-speed internet. The cable will connect Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Italy, and France. The initiative is a collaborative effort among 16 telecom operators and is expected to be completed by 2025, significantly boosting digital infrastructure and economic development across these regions.
