If you're not familiar with TeleGeography’s Cloud Infrastructure Map—a free tool that tracks cloud data centers and on-ramps both built and planned—now is a great time to get acquainted.
Why, you ask? When our team updated the Cloud and WAN Research Service for 2023, the Cloud Infrastructure Map also got a refresh.
Keep reading to get the lowdown on our latest version and why you ought to be using it.
TeleGeography’s Submarine Cable Map recently hit a new milestone: depicting over 550 cable systems.
As of June 2023, that’s a whopping 485 in-service systems, with another 70 planned.
The number of cable systems we study is constantly increasing. This is due to massive investment in this infrastructure—both along major routes and to small islands—as well as our ongoing efforts to track global systems in more detail.
Still, the number of in-service systems is greater now than in any other year within the last two decades.
While our interactive submarine cable map is updated on a rolling basis, printed editions are unveiled annually. Each edition has a different theme, and our team always tries to out-do last year’s release.
Can you guess what inspired our latest design?
There's a good chance that you first heard about TeleGeography through one of our maps.
Our own Research Analyst Lane Burdette was introduced to TeleGeography when she came across our Submarine Cable Map a few years ago. Now part of the team that creates this resource, Lane is understandably stoked about this week's 2023 Submarine Cable Map launch.
It seems like the perfect time to welcome Lane—along with our incredibly talented Designer and Cartographer Larry Lairson—to TeleGeography Explains the Internet.
Our first new map of 2023 is here! Meet the brand new Africa Telecommunications Map.

It's the announcement you've been waiting for. And we've made it twice as nice, because not only is our 2022 Submarine Cable Map here—but so is our brand new Africa Telecommunications Map.
Sponsored by the team at Telecom Egypt, these designs reveal new cables, landing stations, construction stats, international bandwidth figures, and lots more. And you can grab copies for your wall over in our map store.
We have one more surprise to roll out before 2021 draws to a close.
Say hello to our 2022 Global Internet Map!
Fans of our map-centric e-book Mapping Communication are in luck.
