What does SCS mean in INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS

A submarine cable system (SCS) is an underwater telecommunications cable system used for long-distance communication. It consists of multiple cable pairs laid along the sea floor between land-based stations, which transmit telephone and internet data signals to facilitate communication between people and businesses across several countries.

SCS is comprised of multiple cables that run along the seafloor, connecting various land-based telecoms stations located around the world. Signals from these stations travel through the cables and are transmitted to their destination where they are received by another telecoms station. This process enables two or more distant locations to connect, allowing for communication between people or organizations on opposite sides of continents, oceans, or even entire hemispheres.

Submarine Cables are designed to carry two kinds of signals - telephone voice calls and internet data traffic like emails, web pages, videos and audio files. By transmitting these signals from one station to another via the seabed cables, it enables near instantaneous connection with no degradation in speed or quality over extremely long distances - even when crossing different hemispheres.

Generally speaking, using SCS has very minimal environmental impact compared to other methods of signal transmission such as satellite networks. The cables can be laid in deep waters without disturbing seals or other creatures living beneath them as well as surface marine life above them due to their low voltage levels when compared with other means of signal transmission.

Governments are generally responsible for managing international telecommunication policies related to submarine cables infrastructure planning and construction permits among other aspects related to usage regulations as well as ensuring compliance with international treaties regarding legal jurisdiction on submerged communication infrastructure's access rights and control responsibilities worldwide.
