Technologies, and the International Cable Protection Committee (ICPC), an
industry group that promotes submarine cable protection, recently announced the
formation of the International Advisory Body.

Subsea cables and related equipment provide the foundation for the global
digital economy, allowing more than 99% of international data exchange and
enabling communication, finance, cloud services, and key infrastructure to
operate effortlessly across borders.

Despite their crucial importance, submarine cables are vulnerable to a variety
of threats, including natural disasters and inadvertent damage. With the world's
reliance on stable, high-speed internet expanding by the day, the resilience and
protection of these cables from natural and human threats has become critical.

Commenting on his nomination, Faria stated that the Advisory Body plays an
important role in ensuring the future integrity of these critical
intercontinental, undersea cables.

Faria said: “As a company, we have been providing technical support to an
extensive scientific research project being done by the Department of Geography
and Earth Science at Durham University in the UK into the cause and impact of
the natural occurring cable failures that have taken place in the Congo River
Canyon Crossing in West Africa.

“With more cables coming into operation in the future, more efforts will need to
be made in identifying and mitigating accidental damage or other existential
risks that can negatively impact submarine cable networks and this makes the
task of this multi-stakeholder advisory body that much more important.”
