The millions of kilometers of fiber optic cable lying on the ocean floor have traditionally been invisible assets—laid once and forgotten until something breaks. But Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology is transforming this dark infrastructure into a vast network of intelligent sensors capable of detecting everything from anchor drags to earthquakes.
Submarine cables carry over 99% of international data traffic and face unprecedented cybersecurity challenges that extend far beyond traditional network security.
In this episode of the TeleGeography Explains the Internet podcast, Ferris Adi, Chief Information Security Officer at Trans Americas Fiber System, recently shared insights on the evolving threat landscape and strategic approaches to protecting these vital assets.
In this episode of the TeleGeography Explains the Internet podcast, senior analyst Lane Burdette takes listeners on a deep dive into the complex world of submarine cable economics.
There is no shortage of headlines about high-profile cable breaks, particularly around the Baltic Sea and Taiwan. But it's worth remembering that where there have been faults, there have also been repairs.
A new report details what is needed to sustain current service levels and reduce repair delays for the undersea cables that carry global internet traffic.
In this episode of the TeleGeography Explains the Internet podcast, FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington joins the show for a deep dive into the evolving world of spectrum allocation, broadband infrastructure, submarine cable policy, and cybersecurity. With a unique background in finance, law, and policy, Simington offers an interesting perspective on the complexities of the current telecom environment and where federal policy is headed.
What's shaping the trajectory of the global bandwidth market? To answer that question, we identified four significant trends worth watching within our recently updated Transport Networks Research Service.
To understand the future of long-haul capacity demand and pricing, bookmark these industry headlines.
A steady stream of investment has driven tremendous growth in subsea cable infrastructure to keep pace with ever-increasing bandwidth demand.
According to new data from TeleGeography’s Transport Networks Research Service, the aggregate cost of new construction over the past nine years has averaged over $2 billion annually.
