In fact, offshore wind energy has a greater potential for generating electricity than onshore. Offshore wind farms offer a number of technical advantages.

These include reducing barriers to site planning and siting, increasing flexibility in the energy mix and increasing power generation capacity.

Los electrical cables under the sea they can also be equipped with fiber optics to provide Internet access. This will further boost the global market for submarine cables..

submarine communication cables

Submarine communication cables carry around the 90% of global information traffic. They are the most respected cables by OTT and communications providers like Google, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft.

in october 2021, Japanese IT organization NEC announced plans to build a massive undersea cable for Facebook with 400 million fibers. This submarine cable should be able to maintain a limit of up to 500mbps with a combination of 24 fibras.
