Network resilience is a critical concern for every business, regardless of size or industry. While modern equipment is more reliable than ever, the reality is that physical interruptions—from fiber cuts to car accidents—are an unavoidable part of the network landscape.
Starlink Expanding in Africa
Starlink, the satellite broadband provider operated by SpaceX, is growing its presence in Africa—and we have updates for 2025.
We're breaking down how AI might impact enterprise networks in data-driven deep dives. Using TeleGeography’s WAN Cost Benchmark—a customized platform that makes it easy to model and track your WAN network costs—we're modeling potential real-life network setups and configurations for AI.
Get Ready With Us for ITW Asia
Prepping for ITW Asia? Us, too.
We're officially two months out, and we've been reviewing the agenda, taking a closer look at the attendee list, and gathering relevant research to get ready for what everyone will be talking about in Singapore.
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.
The internet depends on a network of submarine cables no thicker than a garden hose, yet these tiny conduits carry the vast majority of global internet traffic. As digital demand explodes and new cables proliferate, cable route engineers face an increasingly complex challenge: finding space on the seafloor for new systems while maintaining the safety and reliability of existing infrastructure.
Total International Bandwidth Now Sits at 1,835 Tbps
Global internet bandwidth increased by 23% in 2025, maintaining its consistent pace of steady growth.
Total international bandwidth now stands at an impressive 1,835 Tbps, representing a four-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24%.
Although the pace of growth has slowed ever so slightly in recent years, bandwidth has still more than doubled since 2021.
While new submarine cable systems are being built to expand global internet capacity, the maintenance of submarine cables has not seen the investment required to maintain these systems.
Ukraine’s Telecom Market, Explained
Since the Russian invasion in February 2022, Ukraine’s telecoms operators have faced a continuous struggle to maintain connectivity for the country’s inhabitants. As well as widespread damage to infrastructure, they’ve had to deal with frequent power blackouts, cyberattacks and more.
Cybersecurity Challenges in Submarine Cable Systems
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.
