Ah, the great Atlantic.
It's the world's second-largest body of water and the most heavily trafficked route in terms of submarine cable capacity.
It also happens to be TeleGeography VP of Research Tim Stronge's favorite ocean.
Tim told us as much during a recent Ciena webinar, where he gave a live presentation all about the Trans-Atlantic Submarine Corridor.
Earlier this year, TeleGeography VP of Research Tim Stronge gave a very fashionable presentation on the submarine cable buildout boom.
Tim's presentation zeroed in on bandwidth demand—or more specifically, what's driving it? Now it’s time to focus on where innovations are happening the fastest: the Atlantic.
OnJune 2 at 11:00 a.m. ET, Tim will meet with experts from Ciena and Lumen for a live discussion on how submarine networks can scale to manage this surging demand.
We recently shared the pricing workshop and interconnection sector review our team presented at PTC '22.
But wait—there's more!
TeleGeography VP of Research Tim Stronge was on the scene to answer three questions about the submarine cable buildout boom.
In 2019, my colleague Alan Mauldin and I busted the myth that the submarine cable industry’s current practices would sustain our future capacity requirements.
Four years later, we revisited the same question during our telecom mythbusting session at SubOptic 2023.
Was the verdict the same?
It's regularly cited in the press that $10 trillion of financial transactions flow over submarine cables every day. But is it true?
With all eyes on Kyiv, videos like this one from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy have made a monumental impact on the world’s ability to understand conditions on the ground.
Ukrainians are using their mobile phones to share the sights and sounds of Russia’s invasion, posting to platforms like Twitter, Telegram, and TikTok. These images may have already played a critical role in galvanizing public opinion in the EU, North America, and elsewhere.
How do tweets and videos from Ukraine reach the rest of the world?
Here are a few things to understand about the networks that have allowed Ukrainians to share their stories.
TeleGeography's rankings of provider connectivity include analysis based on BGP routing tables, which govern how packets are delivered to their destinations across myriad networks as defined by autonomous system numbers (ASNs).
(Quick reminder: every network must rely on other networks to reach parts of the internet that it does not itself serve; there is no such thing as a ubiquitous internet backbone provider.)
Our thirst for bandwidth must have a ceiling. It just must.
In our first-ever user-submitted myth, Chief Engineer of the Australia-Japan Cable Phil Murphy asked our experts a tough one. If it were possible to create the ultimate VR device that delivered a fully-immersive experience—catering to all possible sensory inputs—what would the bandwidth be and would our own senses create a cap?
In short: will sensory overload dictate an eventual bandwidth ceiling?
Have you heard the one about 70% of the world’s internet traffic flowing through northern Virginia? This factoid has been cited in The Washington Post and Business Insider, among other major publications and government websites.
This statistic always seemed a little unlikely to us, so we sought out a few different ways to test its validity.
