The TeleGeography Submarine Cable Map is our longest-running map project. We started producing submarine cable maps in 1999, and we're still going strong 25 years later.
Just for fun, let’s compare the very first edition—called the Global Communications Cable and Satellite Map—to this year’s Submarine Cable Map.
If you liked last week's Submarine Cable Map reveal, you'll be stoked to hear that we've got another new map up our sleeve.
Meet the 2024 Africa Telecommunications Map.
Meet the latest addition to our map repertoire, the 2024 Submarine Cable Map.
Sponsored by Telecom Egypt, this handsome new edition explores global connectivity from the sea to the cloud, depicting 559 cable systems and 1,636 landings that are currently active or under construction.

Another month, another list of interesting telecom reads (and listens).
Here are a few things you ought to have on your radar, including a podcast episode about submarine cable geopolitics, a handsome take on our Submarine Cable Map, a new cloud data center presentation, and more.
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.

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.
