EXORIDUM FROM THE PUBLISHER
WELCOME TO ISSUE 131, OUR REGIONAL NETWORKS AND SUBMARINE NETWORKS WORLD CONFERENCE PREVIEW EDITION!
V
ive le Tour! If it’s July it must be another amazing three weeks of the Tour de France. This year’s tour is like something not seen in a while where two dominating, powerful riders seem to be fighting amongst themselves levels of capability about the rest. Two thirds through, all eyes are on the Dane and Slovak who are mere seconds apart in cumulative time. The question is will they fight it out to the end where one stands as victor, or will someone else come sweeping by and take it all from under them.
SUBMARINE NETWORKS WORLD CONFERENCE
I had the pleasure of attending Submarine Networks EMEA in London in May, which was well attended, informative and well worth the effort to attend. Looking forward, we are thrilled to be traveling to Singapore again in September and attending the Submarine Networks World Conference. The folks at Terrapinn provided some excellent content to this issue, and we expect their event to be another excellent opportunity to learn, as well as see industry friends.
