PML is an independent, impartial provider of scientific research, contract services and advice on the Tyco Telecommunications
The Woods Hole Group, Inc. was founded in 1986 by Dr. David
Aubrey, who assembled a team of coastal sciences, engineering, and planning personnel. Earliest projects involved shore protection, coastal measurements, numerical modeling, and environmental permitting in the U.S., Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean. The firm then established an international reputation for improving transboundary environmental policy with projects in the Black and Caspian Seas. To bolster offshore capabilities, an oceanographic equipment company was acquired in 1991, adding oceanographic and engineering personnel. An analytical chemistry laboratory also was acquired in 1996. Building upon a standard product line of wave, tide, and current meters (WHISL), the emerging oceanogra-

With more than five decades of operation, Tyco Telecommunications has designed, manufactured, and installed more than 80 undersea fiber optic systems around the world. Technology Profile: To meet the needs of the world's demand for reliable bandwidth capacity and marine services, Tyco Telecommunications continues to develop and build on its technology, with a commitment to forward-looking, customer-focused solutions. Current research and development efforts are driven by customer demand for lower-cost solutions that enable long-term growth. Most recently, those efforts have focused on creating solutions to serve the oil and gas industry. As production-demands increase, oil and gas platforms are moving farther offshore and into deeper waters, therefore also increasing the demand for reliable and robust communications networks. To meet those demands, Tyco Telecommunications installs cable connecting rigs to rigs and rigs to land. Using Optical Add/Drop Multiplexing (OADM) technology and its own developed suite of interconnect devices and submarine line terminal equipment, Tyco Telecommunications deploys self-healing ring topologies, ensuring systems continue to operate even if one rig's connectivity suffers a breakdown. With its combined focus on traditional and offshore cable installation, Tyco Telecommunications has deployed more than 402,000 km of cable worldwide: an amount that would circle the earth 10 times. Tyco Telecommunications also offers complete marine support for undersea networks of any size, including route survey and engineering; cable installation; terrestrial constructions; cable data management; deep and shallow water repair; cable recovery and retrieval. The company's fleet of Reliance-class vessel cable ships and remote-operated vehicles (ROVs) not only provide the most efficient means for cable installation, but also ensure the rapid recovery and repair of damaged cable.
