SPIN (cable system)
SPIN (or South Pacific Islands Network) was a proposed submarine communications cable system that would run between New Zealand and Tahiti, connecting a number of South Pacific island countries. It would have been 6,500 km (4,039 mi) long and have a 64x10 Gbit/s capacity. It was planned to be in service late 2010. The project did not go ahead due to lack of funding.[1] The SPIN personnel went on to develop the Hawaiki Cable,[2][3] which started commercial operation in 2018.[4]
