Meet the most recent addition to our map repertoire, the 2024 Submarine Cable Map.
Sponsored by Telecom Egypt, this good-looking new version explores international connectivity from the ocean to the cloud, depicting 559 cable programs and 1,636 landings which are presently energetic or underneath building.
On the backside of the map, you’ll discover further insights on cable building, cable investments, and cloud infrastructure.
Cable Building
Between 2023 and 2025, a brand new cable growth valued at a document $10 billion will convey an estimated 78 programs on-line measuring over 300,000 kilometers in size, a degree of development not seen in over 20 years.
Cable Investments
Since 2018, content material suppliers have added capability at a sooner fee than different bandwidth customers. Thus far, Google and Meta—pushed by their bandwidth-intensive necessities for search, video, and social media—have invested in 29 and 15 submarine cable programs, respectively.
Cloud Infrastructure
After a three-year droop, each mature and rising markets are rebounding in cloud area growth. These rollouts might be traced again, partially, to submarine cable routing choices. Cables land close to areas prime for cloud area development, so cable routes present the place inter-data middle bandwidth development is predicted.
And we would wish to thank our beneficiant sponsor Telecom Egypt for making this map doable.
