Palau Cable 2 (PC2) is a subsea cable of approximately 110km to connect the Palau Repblic with a large-capacity submarine optical cable that connects Southeast Asia and the U. mainland (Echo subsea cable system). PC2 adopts the latest optical wavelength multiplexing transmission system of. The Belau Submarine Cable Corporation is a state-owned public corporation that owns and manages a submarine fiber optic cable network for the Republic of Palau. Supply of point-to-point capacity 2. The price would be $65 per Mbit / sec per month. 70USD, exact AUD amount depends on exchange rate at disbursement. Given the geographic remoteness of Palau, improving connectivity and internet access will open up opportunities to boost tourism, business. Fiber-optic cable materials typically cost $1 to $6 per linear foot, depending on fiber count and cable type. Commercial building installations with 100-200 network drops generally range from $15,000 to $30,000. Single-mode fiber costs less per foot than multimode fiber, but it requires more.
