Alcatel-Lucent also makes branching units at its Greenwich facility. This is the component that would be used to split off connectivity to a site that the cable passes by--for example, to Congo on the West Africa Cable System (WACS), which runs from the U.K. to South Africa, that Alcatel-Lucent is building.
