This map displays the vast network of undersea cables that power the global internet. OpenFiberMap aggregates open-licensed datasets (AfTerFibre, OFDS, PeeringDB, and others) into a single interactive globe, visualizing routes by capacity tier, operational status, and operator. Use the controls at the top to play the animation or step through year by year. For more details and insights, please read this. Projects such as SEA-ME-WE (Southeast Asia - Middle East - Western Europe) and FLAG (Fiber-Optic Link Around the Globe) established intercontinental fiber-optic routes, bridging entire regions with high-speed data links. The Infrastructure Connectivity Map (Broadband maps - BBmaps) webapp provides infrastructure visualization of ICT networks. The cable is operated by Global Cloud Xchange, a former subsidiary of RCOM.
