Hokkaido-Rebun-Rishiri was Ready for Service (RFS) in 2011.
The Hokkaido-Rebun-Rishiri submarine cable connects points within Japan's northernmost island, supporting telecommunications and internet access in the region. Japan’s geography, with its numerous islands, makes it heavily reliant on submarine cables for domestic connectivity. NTT, a major Japanese telecommunications company, operates this cable to enhance communication infrastructure in Hokkaido.
Japan is strategically positioned as a hub for regional and international communications. The northern island of Hokkaido, while less densely populated compared to the main islands, has its own unique needs for connectivity. Rebung is part of the Rebun Island, which is known for its natural beauty and tourism. Rishirifuji is a small town on Rishiri Island, while Wakkanai serves as a gateway to Hokkaido from Honshu via ferries.
Given Japan's strategic importance in Asia, this submarine cable contributes to the broader telecommunications landscape of the country.
