Great news. TeleGeography’s 2020 Middle East Telecommunications Map, sponsored by GBI, is now available for purchase.
Our 2020 edition depicts 54 active and three planned submarine cable systems. Per usual, this map is printed on Yupo, a high quality synthetic material.
SD-WAN has rapidly gained momentum among enterprise customers and the service has moved into a new phase of adoption.
In previous years, WAN managers were evaluating the promise of the technology itself. But today, many already have—or are in the process of—selecting a vendor and rolling out SD-WAN across their global network.
As such, they face a new set of issues in procuring and operating the network.
Breaking up is hard to do. Cable breaks are no exception.
This month we've had some interesting stories about cable breaks come across our desks, namely the situation in South Africa that saw two incidents in close succession. You can read up on that—as well as the repair process—below.
We also pulled stories on new cables, delayed cables, 5G footprints, and the modern American broadband bill.
Telecoms World Asia 2020 is again on the horizon. Carriers, operators, and suppliers from across the region will meet in Bangkok July 21-22. (Note that the dates have changed from March to July.)

There's been a lot of press about delayed approval for the Pacific Light Cable Network (PLCN) cable, which is due to connect Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Philippines to the United States.
You can understand why this cable has gotten extra attention. Backers include Google, Facebook, and Pacific Light Data Communication (PLDC), which is owned by Chinese ISP Dr. Peng Telecom & Media Group.
While the whole system is awaiting approval from U.S. authorities, Google and Facebook have requested that the FCC allow activation of the Taiwan and Philippines portions of the cable.
Gather 'round, voice data enthusiasts. There's a new database in town.
