BUSINESS The information in this report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. For example, words such as "may," "will," "should," "estimates," "predicts," "potential," "continue," "strategy," "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "intends" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Our actual results and the timing of certain events may differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those discussed elsewhere in this report and in our Registration Statement on Form F-1 (Registration No. 333-94899) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission including, without limitation, those factors discussed under "Risk Factors" in the Registration Statement. GENERAL We are a global carriers' carrier that develops and offers a broad range of innovative telecommunications products and services to licensed international carriers, Internet service providers and other telecommunications companies. Our network, the FLAG Telecom network, is currently comprised of (1) the FLAG Europe-Asia cable system, which is the world's longest independent, privately-owned digital fiberoptic undersea cable system, (2) the FLAG Atlantic-1 cable system, which we are currently constructing and, when completed, will connect London and Paris to New York and (3) terrestrial connections between our landing stations in the United Kingdom and Spain to the city centers of London and Madrid and intra-European connections from London to Paris, Brussels, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Berlin, Zurich, Milan and several other major European metropolitan areas, which we have acquired the right to obtain through contractual arrangements with other facilities-based bandwidth capacity providers. We have an established customer base of approximately 90 customers, many of which are the world's leading telecommunications and Internet companies. Our customers include 17 of the top 20 international carriers based on traffic volume which, together, accounted for approximately 48% of our sales to date. We believe we have succeeded in attracting this customer base primarily as the result of the diversity, flexibility and high quality of our product and service offerings. Copyright © 2012 www.secdatabase.com. All Rights Reserved. Please Consider the Environment Before Printing This Document The FLAG Europe-Asia cable system links the telecommunications markets of Western Europe and Japan through the Middle East, India, Southeast Asia and China along a route which adjoins countries with approximately 75% of the world's population. The FLAG Europe-Asia cable system consists of approximately 28,000 kilometers of technologically advanced undersea digital fiberoptic cable which comes ashore at 16 operational landings in 13 countries. It has an aggregate capacity of 10 gigabits per second transmitting on two fiber pairs. The system incorporates synchronous digital hierarchy, which is the current international standard for digital transmission and management. Expansion of the transmission capacity of the segments of the FLAG Europe-Asia cable system may be accomplished by employing additional light sources using the wavelength division multiplexing technique of operating at more than one wavelength. The transmission capacity of the segments of the FLAG Europe-Asia cable system is upgradeable to between 20 and 40 gigabits per second depending on the location of the segment. The FLAG Europe-Asia cable system cost approximately $1.6 billion to complete. We placed the FLAG Europe-Asia cable system in commercial service on November 22, 1997 with an initial group of 62 customers. FLAG Atlantic Limited has contracted with Alcatel Submarine Networks for the construction of the subsea portion of a new 12,000 kilometer trans-Atlantic digital fiberoptic cable system called FLAG Atlantic-1. The FLAG Atlantic-1 cable system will use a six fiber pair configuration with 10 gigabit per second technology and up to a maximum of 40 wavelengths of light per fiber. The FLAG Atlantic-1 cable system is designed to have an initial fully redundant capacity of at least 160 gigabits per second, with 1 potential for future upgrade to 2.4 terabits

  • Les Sites Optiques Sous-Marins Région Atlantique
    École Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications de Bretagne Travail réalisé par : Fabien GIRARD Les sites optiques sous-marins Région Atlantique 1 Introduction La région atlantique habrite les pays les plus dévelopées mais aussi les moins avancés de notre planète. Des pays qui ont un besoin constant de communiquer entre eux pour différentes raisons, comme les marchés boursiers, les communications d'informations des entreprises multinationales. Bien plus que l'économie mondiale, c'est la moitié de la communication et de l'information mondiale qui transite dans nos mers et océans. Considérés comme des centres stratégiques mondiaux, les centres habritant les câbles sous-marins ont vu le jour au cours des années 1970 afin d'assurer ces fonctions devenues vitales de nos jours.
