Meet the most recent addition to our map repertoire, the 2024 Submarine Cable Map.
Sponsored by Telecom Egypt, this good-looking re-creation explores world connectivity from the ocean to the cloud, depicting 559 cable techniques and 1,636 landings which might be at the moment energetic or below 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 increase valued at a file $10 billion will deliver an estimated 78 techniques on-line measuring over 300,000 kilometers in size, a stage of development not seen in over 20 years.
Cable Investments
Since 2018, content material suppliers have added capability at a quicker price than different bandwidth customers. Up to now, Google and Meta—pushed by their bandwidth-intensive necessities for search, video, and social media—have invested in 29 and 15 submarine cable techniques, respectively.
Cloud Infrastructure
After a three-year droop, each mature and rising markets are rebounding in cloud area growth. These rollouts could be traced again, partially, to submarine cable routing choices. Cables land close to places prime for cloud area development, so cable routes present the place inter-data middle bandwidth development is predicted.
And we might prefer to thank our beneficiant sponsor Telecom Egypt for making this map doable.
