New subsea cables have been deployed across every global route grouping, with more systems expected in the coming three years. FYIthe virtual tour of our 2021 Submarine Cable Map is now live (This includes the image downloads you've been asking about. Out of these planned cables, 19 are brand-new to TeleGeography’s map, boasting a combined length 103,348 km. 2021 Submarine Cable Map (free shipping) This edition, sponsored by Telecom Egypt, depicts 464 cable systems and 1,245 landing stations that are currently active, under construction, or expected to be fully-funded by the end of 2023.

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. This new edition depicts 464 cable systems and 1,245 landing stations that are currently active or under construction. There is no shortage of cable facts hidden throughout this map. Subsea cables carry telecommunication signals under the oceans, communicating information between different countries and regions of the world. The submarine cable market has never been so dynamic, and we’re thrilled to showcase our data and analysis on all things subsea cable.” Every year Telegeography releases a new map of the huge global network of undersea telecommunication cables which carry all our data around the world.The 2021 Submarine Cable Map has now been published. 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. “The submarine cable market has never been so dynamic and we’re thrilled to showcase our data and analysis on all things subsea cable.Having accounted for less than 10% prior to 2012, content providers’ share of total capacity surged to 66% in 2020.

TeleGeography states that content providers’ share of total capacity surged from less than 10% prior to 2012, to 66% in 2020. Its literally just that, a map of the worlds existing submarine cables and the ones in. The map further analyses the changing dynamics in the market and influence of new players on submarine cable investments. TeleGeography say the map visualizes 464 global cables and 1,245 landing stations, as well as major future deployments.
