The first transatlantic cable was laid in 1956 between Canada and Scotlandspecifically, between Clarenville, Newfoundland, Canada, and Oban, Scotland, a distance of 3,584 km (2,226 miles). This system made use of two coaxial cables, one for each direction, and used analogue FDM to carry 36 two-way voice circuits. With the availability of the cable system, transatlantic telephone traffic increased dramatically, from 1.7 million calls in 1955 to 3.7 million in 1960.
