Design of Manado - HongKong Backbone Optical Fiber Network

Abstract

In eastern Indonesia, the total construction of fiber optic has only reached 1.9% in the Sulawesi region. Supporting the growing demand for international broadband internet in the eastern part of Indonesia and creating a redundant network in eastern Indonesia is a priority to increase this number. This research proposes a submarine backbone optical network design for Manado - Hong Kong, including cable length and number of repeaters estimation to meet the power budget criteria. This paper also discusses a dispersion compensation module to meet the rise time budget criteria. The power budget and rise time results show that the proposed design offers values not exceeding the determined threshold. Therefore, performance analysis shows that the design is feasible for implementation based on power budget and rise time analysis.
