Public-Private Fiber Ocean Networks is actively pursuing large-scale submarine fiber projects through public-private partnerships, notably a $120 million initiative with the University of Hawaiʻi to connect the Hawaiian Islands. This indicates strong sellable opportunities in government collaboration, educational institutions, and regional broadband expansion programs.
Ocean Science Focus The company owns and repurposes over 8,000 km of submarine cable for ocean science, and operates Submarine Cable Salvage. This opens upsell paths for research institutions, environmental monitoring programs, and international oceanographic missions seeking re-use or salvage of aging assets.
Experienced Team With a team averaging 25 years in submarine cable systems and a track record across 100+ installed systems, Ocean Networks can position itself as a turnkey partner for complex submarine deployments in new territories or modernization projects, appealing to governments and large carriers.
Strategic Partnerships Past and ongoing collaborations with academia and investment groups (UH Foundation, Breda CIAM) suggest a receptive channel for co-investment, grant-funded projects, and blended-financing deals to expand fiber infrastructure in underserved or strategic regions.
Growth Through Salvage The Submarine Cable Salvage unit presents a recurring revenue stream from repurposing decommissioned or OOS cables for research networks and ocean sciences, enabling sales opportunities to universities, research consortia, and government science programs seeking cost-effective, ready-made assets.
