Abstract

This degree work proposes an alternative connectivity through of an optical fiber link by submarine cable. The goal is accessing to the Internet of a significant way in the Galapagos Islands. Currently, due to the location of the province, people in this region can obtain service through satellite links only, which do not offer the same features wired fiber optic connection. The design proposed in this thesis contains an analysis on demand of Internet generated by the Galapagos Islands inhabitants which is projected for next five years from 2019 to provide this service; for estimates on the grow of Galapagos Islands population, it was considered that it cannot increase without control because it is an area of high ecological vulnerability. The Technical Analysis part includes: A submarine cable route diagram, continental and island stations, components of an underwater cable system, equipment according to the system requirements and the link budget to guarantee the correct operation of the submarine cable. Finally, a referential cost budget is also included for the implementation of the system.
