In December 2016 Freddi Huang, the head of network engineering and operations at Telin Singapore, told DatacenterDynamics that the recently launched Telin-3 data center will be linked up to SEA-ME-WE 5. SEA-ME-WE 5 was plugged into the Tuas landing station in Singapore early last year. The project is backed by a consortium comprising 18 global telecommunications players including Singtel, Telekom Malaysia, and Telekomunikasi Indonesia International (Telin).Ī statement from the consortium noted that SEA-ME-WE 5’s main endpoints are not Cable Landing Stations (CLS) like in most such projects, but carrier-neutral Points-of-Presence (PoPs). This system facilitates a new age of digital transformation and innovation, catalyzing greater economic activities, trade and growth across three continents,” said Linette Lee, who chairs the consortium management committee behind SEA-ME-WE 5.Ĭonstruction of the cable network began in September 2014. An interactive undersea cable map in 3D is available in InfoWorldMaps, because we are fans of 3D maps and we want to show you all the submarine cable network that connect the world in an incredible 3D vision.

The Intra-Asian route is expected to experience the most investment, with a projected $1.6 billion in new cables to be launched.“The completion of the SE-ME-WE 5 project is a landmark system upgrade for all data users worldwide. Here you can see an incredible interactive 3D submarine cable map around the world. New subsea cables have been deployed across every global route grouping, with more systems expected in the coming three years. Out of these planned cables, 19 are brand-new to TeleGeography’s map, boasting a combined length 103,348 km. Of the 464 cables displayed in this map, 428 are active, and 36 are planned. Take this stat, for example: There are over 1.3 million km of submarine cables spanning the globe, which would wrap around Earth more than 30 times end to end.

Over the last decade, we’ve seen content providers emerge as disruptors, ramping up investments to meet global demand for their services.

“The 2021 map illustrates a market that’s experiencing more deployments with new and diverse players. “We’re excited to launch our latest Submarine Cable Map and would like to thank Telecom Egypt for supporting it this year,” said Alan Mauldin, research director at TeleGrography. Google alone has more than 15 subsea cable investments globally. These companies alone have such incredible demand for data center traffic that they’re driving projects and route prioritization for submarine cable systems. Unlike previous cable construction booms, content providers, like Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Microsoft, are taking a more active role in the submarine cable market.

Having accounted for less than 10% prior to 2012, content providers’ share of total capacity surged to 66% in 2020.
