Ocean Networks Inc. Joins the INDATEL Family

We are thrilled to announce that Ocean Networks Inc., a leading developer of submarine cable systems, has officially joined the INDATEL family as our newest member. Based in Atlanta, GA, the Ocean Networks team has decades of experience in the submarine cable industry and brings a wealth of knowledge and innovation to our community.

Founded in 2013, Ocean Networks has been at the forefront of delivering submarine cable systems for governments, carriers, content providers, and research institutions. Their subsidiary, Submarine Cable Salvage, Inc., adds a unique layer of sustainability by repurposing out-of-service cables to support the field of ocean science. With an impressive track record, including key roles in over 100 cable systems worldwide. Ocean Networks currently owns & operates over 8,000 km of submarine cable infrastructure.

A strategic partner of both Ocean Networks and INDATEL Services brought the two companies together for a bigger purpose. Ocean Networks’ goals align perfectly with INDATEL’s mission, as they look to leverage INDATEL’s network to enhance their fiber pair and capacity sales with their Hawaiian Islands Fiber Link (HIFL) submarine cable system that is slated to go live in December 2026.

Through this partnership, Ocean Networks will focus on their extensive customer base while INDATEL helps aggregate smaller capacity purchasers. The collaboration is an exciting development for both companies. As Ocean Networks shared, “We’re looking forward to INDATEL supporting and helping us grow our customer base,” says Cliff Miyake, CSO, Ocean Networks Inc.

Looking ahead, Ocean Networks has a roadmap for building new trans-Pacific cable systems extending from Hawaii. They believe that INDATEL’s support will be instrumental in advancing these planned projects.

“We’re incredibly excited to welcome Ocean Networks Inc. to the INDATEL member family. Their expertise in submarine cable systems and commitment to innovation align perfectly with our mission. We look forward to working closely with them to unlock new opportunities and deliver exceptional connectivity solutions for our customers,” says Justin Forte, CEO, INDATEL Services.

Please join us in welcoming Ocean Networks Inc. to the INDATEL member family! We look forward to a fruitful partnership and exciting future collaborations.
