OAC

Engineered for security, built for low latency

The Oman Australia Cable (OAC) is a privately owned and operated system that follows a geographically diverse deep-sea route that was strategically mapped to enable secure, low latency connectivity from Australia to the Middle East and beyond.

Direct path

The 9,800km-long OAC connection is the most direct subsea route from Australia to the Middle East. With a round-trip delay of approximately only 97 milliseconds, this system offers express connectivity made reliable by the avoidance of shallow, congested and earthquake-prone waters.

Strategic positioning

High volumes of network traffic in Asia are concentrated through the Java Sea and Malacca Strait – shallow, earthquake-prone waters that are frequented by local fishers and used as heavy shipping passages. SUBCO avoids these congested pathways and leverages true geographical diversity by positioning OAC in the deep and largely untapped waters of the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea.
