Coral Sea Cable System beach landing at Tamarama in the Sydney South Cable Protection zone. Nothing to see but manhole covers as all is bored out below the beach and the park. Nice and safe that way. The Telstra duct is buried too out 700m to sea and CS2 is buried right out to 1500m water depth.

SISCC complete a monument to the submarine cable break and repair in 2023.

The SIDN cable break in 2023 was the most challlenging operational issue SISCC has ever faced. A vessel anchored illegally in the no-anchoring zone in Honiara and its anchor snapped the SIDN cable as it was pulled up. This caused very significant disruption to people throughout the regions and required eleven weeks to get our cable repair ship to Honiara and repair.

The operations team made heroic efforts over the week of the repair, manning the AUKI, Noro and Honiara cable landing stations 24/7 for over a week carrying out configuration work under the supervision of the repair vessel CS Lodbrog.

SISCC were left with sections of the broken cable after the repair so it was decided to put up display at our compound in a monument permanently recognising the small team involved.

SISCC contracted a local artist and sculptor who has produced this magnificent sculpture.

This is a reminder we must never cease vigilence and put in place National protections for our critical submarine cable infrastructure.

Great work from the SIWA team laying the water main. The main passes under the submarine cable ducts at SMI. They exercised great care and kept the cables well protected. Many thanks from the SISCC Team to SIWA.

SISCC International CS2 cable system experienced two short successive outages today between midday and 1pm. These were caused by instability in equipment at the Sydney end of the system. Telstra engineers were forced to re-seat and restart the affected equipment twice in order to return CS2 to service. The service has been stable since 1pm. Telstra and SISCC continue to monitor the situation and will change equipment during an early morning maintenance window if necessary. SISCC apologise to their customers and the general public for the inconvenience. SISCC will make further updates to this page as required.
