Report Issued Summarizing NSF Antarctic Subsea Cable Workshop

The report “2021 Antarctic Subsea Cable Workshop Report: High-Speed Connectivity Needs to Advance US Antarctic Science” was released today. The Workshop was supported by NSF and led by University of Minnesota. The report summarizes the the value and feasibility of deploying a new optical fiber submarine cable system that would supply high-speed internet connectivity to McMurdo Station to address the severe network bandwidth bottlenecks that currently constrain scientific research in Antarctica.
