Subsea Cable Data & Analytics
Modern subsea cable systems generate vast amounts of operational data from repeaters, OTDR traces, network management systems, and environmental sensors—yet this data is often underutilised and fragmented. This group establishes a collaborative framework to standardise data use, promote automation, and drive predictive intelligence.
Why join this Working Group?
Help shape how the industry leverages data analytics, AI, and automation to enhance system reliability, reduce downtime, and optimise operational efficiency across subsea network operations.
- Define Standards: Contribute to a common framework for data collection, storage, and sharing across operators
- Advance Predictive Analytics: Develop models using OTDR, repeater, and environmental data for predictive fault detection
- Drive Automation: Design AI models to filter, prioritise, and correlate alarms for faster, smarter response
