If you've seen our famous Submarine Cable Map, you can probably guess that the TeleGeography team geeks out on submarine cable knowledge.
And although there's a lot to know, we still get excited when cables come up in the news.
So it’s no surprise that our latest list of telecom reading recs starts off with a story about submarine cables—and their potential to detect earthquakes.
Live from New York, it's the WAN Summit!
On Tuesday, June 21, WAN Summit New York will be live and in-person to cover the full spectrum of WAN management.
And you may see a familiar face on the agenda—TeleGeography’s Senior Manager of Enterprise Research (and Podcast Host Extraordinaire) Greg Bryan will be in attendance.
Major Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) offer dedicated, private network connections to their services. These connections complement enterprise WANs with secure, high-performance connectivity.
Today, we'll examine dedicated connection pricing.
In honor of Subsea World 2022 happening next month, let's play two truths and a lie: submarine cable edition.
One of these three statements is false:
The pan-African telecom group Africell has broken Angola’s long-standing mobile market duopoly with its launch on April 7.
If initial reports are correct, Africell has hit the ground running, attracting around two million subscriptions in its first month of operation.

In February, we released the answers to our first three questions. Now it’s time to reveal a new batch of answers.
Our readers likely know about NaaS: cloud-based network architecture that allows a WAN manager to stitch together different enterprise network components in a self-service, automated way.
At the WAN Manager Podcast, we've been watching the ways in which NaaS has emerged as specific products/solutions from vendors, as well as how it integrates with existing WAN strategies from the enterprise side.
No, that wasn’t a typo. NASA is teaming up with lidar company Aeva to 3D map the moon—a tricky feat without GPS.
If you’re a map lover like us, this ought to grab your attention.
The prototype is small enough for an astronaut to wear as a backpack and able to map its surroundings in real time.
If you’re an enterprise network manager in need of a dedicated cloud connection service, you’re in luck; you’ve got a wide array of service providers and locations to choose from.
You could set up a link directly with the cloud provider, but why not use a third-party—such as a carrier, colocation provider, or connectivity specialist?
The question then changes. Who are you going to choose? And where will you set up your connections? This often depends on the location of your enterprise WAN in relation to the cloud providers’ regions or data centers.
In this analysis, we’ll explore options available to network managers.
Here's a hot take: the networking hype cycle has moved on from SD-WAN in favor of SASE and now SSE.
