Capacity
The TEAMS cable was originally designed to have an initial capacity of 40 Gb/s upgradeable to 640 Gbit/s should the initial capacity be insufficient. The project has since exercised an option in the Construction & Maintenance Agreement (CMA) to increase the capacity to 1.2 Tb/s of which 120 Gbit/s will be initial capacity at project start. Excess bandwidth will be absorbed for use by the Kenyan government if demand from private operators does not meet expectations.

Famous quotes containing the word capacity:
“The capacity to give one’s attention to a sufferer is a very rare and difficult thing; it is almost a miracle; it is a miracle. Nearly all those who think they have this capacity do not possess it. Warmth of heart, impulsiveness, pity are not enough.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“Children’s view of the world and their capacity to understand keep expanding as they mature, and they need to ask the same questions over and over, fitting the information into their new level of understanding.”
—Joanna Cole (20th century)
“What distinguished man from animals was the human capacity for symbolic thought, the capacity which was inseparable from the development of language in which words were not mere signals, but signifiers of something other than themselves. Yet the first symbols were animals. What distinguished men from animals was born of their relationship with them.”
—John Berger (b. 1926)
