1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
selecting, using at least one processor, one or more fiber pairs in a plurality of fiber pairs in one or more undersea cables for routing of at least one transmission, the one or more undersea cables connecting one or more transmission sites;
assigning, using the at least one processor, one or more optical switches to each selected fiber pair in the selected one or more fiber pairs;
forming, using the at least one processor, one or more dedicated optical pathways using the selected one or more fiber pairs and the assigned one or more optical switches; and
transmitting, using the at least one processor, the at least one transmission using the formed one or more dedicated optical pathways between the one or more transmission sites.
