Hello, gentle readers, and welcome to the 2025 State of the Network Report—our eighth edition.
The TeleGeography team spent the last year compiling market surveys, building algorithms, and analyzing emerging trends, and now we're ready to share the highlights.
Last week, Research Director Alan Mauldin joined Ciena’s Brian Lavallée for a live webinar exploring the technical and strategic drivers transforming the AI landscape.
Happy New Year? Now it is, because we just dropped our 2025 Submarine Cable Map.
Sponsored by Telecom Egypt, this futuristic, high-contrast design depicts 597 cable systems and 1,712 landings that are currently active or under construction.
Ah, São Paulo. A critical market for Latin American connectivity (just ask our Market Connectivity Score), and the perfect location for Capacity LATAM 2025.
This year’s conference—held March 18-19—will feature our own Peter Wood as chairperson of a cable-focused panel session:
With February right around the corner, many of us are gearing up to celebrate 20 years of Capacity Middle East.
The 2025 conference—held February 4-6 in Dubai—will tackle big topics like how the Middle East is preparing for AI, and how the industry recovered from February’s Red Sea cable cuts.
TeleGeography’s Paul Brodsky will lead a panel focused on the latter, looking back at the immediate implications of the cuts, and how different parties rerouted.
As a new year approaches, so does our annual workshop on all things telecom.
At PTC ’25, Brianna Boudreau, Jon Hjembo, and Alan Mauldin will return to the conference stage to share fresh insights on pricing, interconnection, submarine cables, bandwidth, and more.
A big part of last year's conversation revolved around resolving the delays in new network supply that had plagued the industry for the last few years, and assessing the “new normal.”
Here’s what the TeleGeography trio will dive into in 2025.
Another year, another African Peering and Interconnection Forum (AfPIF) keynote presentation for Senior Research Manager Patrick Christian.
His 2024 African Network Geography Update explored global network trends, as well as African bandwidth trends, interconnection hub trends, and end-user demand. There was a special focus on Kinshasa, where this year’s AfPIF conference was held.
What are the best-connected hubs in Africa? Where are new and planned submarine cables landing? Is intra-African bandwidth gaining traction?
We often overlook how critical submarine cable networks are in the advancement of scientific innovation. Their seamless connectivity enables data-intensive collaboration across research and education institutions around the world.
Next week, our Senior Research Manager Jon Hjembo and Ciena’s Brian Lavallée will dive into this topic through a live webinar: Big data. Big science. Big networks.
If you look at the agenda for ITW Asia—happening December 4-5 in Singapore—you’ll see topics spanning future networks, data infrastructure, subsea Asia, SatCom, and more.
You should also see a familiar face.
Many locations around the world are clamoring to become the next great hub. But before we can identify successful practices to promote digital hubs, we first must decide how to measure that connectivity.
What role do submarine cables play? How about electricity and green power? And government policies ... can those even be quantified?
At Platform Global 2024, TeleGeography VP of Research Tim Stronge took to the stage to tackle these questions.
