If you are in any way related to telecom, Information Technology, Education or related departments – then there are chances that you might have wanted to know the most about submarine cables, lying deep in the seas, of the world.
Just in case if you aren’t familiar, submarine cables are laid under the sea to carry voice and data communication signals across the stretches of oceans. They are considered most viable, price efficient and productive way of communication between countries or regions.
Almost every country – other than those who don’t have sea ports – are connected with submarine cables to get in touch with the rest of the world.
Pakistan, for instance, is connected with four submarine cables, which are:
- IMEWE
- SeaMeWe3
- SeaMeWe4
- Transworld (TW1)
We often need various kind of information about Submarine Cables, including maps, cable routes, landing points, owners, length, capacity, ready-for-service (RFS) date, website information and more.
For which we have many paid services, starting from $ 250 per subscription or more, but today we are going to tell about a resource that offers detailed information about submarine cables with interactive map.
Here’s the URL: http://www.submarinecablemap.com/.
This simple but informative website is built on an interactive map, highlighting the submarine cable network of entire globe. Here are few of the features:
- Search for Submarine Cable or landing point in the search bar
- Click on landing station (cities) or submarine cable on the map to know further about the submarine cable
- Get complete information of a particular submarine cable, such as:
- Submarine Cable name
- Submarine Cable route
- RFS: Ready for Service Date
- Cable Length
- Owners
- Submarine Cable’s official website
- Landing points of Submarine Cable
- If selected a landing point (city) on map, website will show you all the cables connected with that landing point.
Nice info……
One of the greatest things about the Internet is that nobody really owns it. It is a global collection of networks, both big and small. These networks connect together in many different ways to form the single entity that we know as the Internet. In fact, the very name comes from this idea of interconnected networks.
My simple question. how internet generate..?
still no one ans of my question :(
very informative.
if we are connected to 4 cables and then why we still experience the internet speed and surfing problem when the cable is broken.
We have only one landing point, it should be redundant.
Gawader Port Should also have landing point.
Of Course, a backup landing point should also be in place.
