When cable cuts occur they often result in disruptions to Internet connectivity, knocking a network, city, or country offline. However, two recent cable cuts that occurred in the Baltic Sea resulted in little-to-no observable impact to the affected countries. Here's why. https://lnkd.in/dP7aHEHq

As Africa experiences yet another multi-subsea cable break, disrupting internet access to a number of countries the big questions is, are telco's and ISP's doing enough to safeguard the supply of access, and if not what can be done to achieve this? The simple answer has to be no they are not, with both Seacom and EASSy currently down, and the outages in the RedSea further compounding this issue, countries all along the east cost of Africa are feeling the pain. This coming just weeks after the African west coast suffered a multi-cable break that disconnected entire countries completely. Satellite in this situation is being completely overlooked. With the advancement in satellite technology and the addition of Multi-Orbit capabilities the days of slow and expensive access via Satellite are long gone. With many operators offering short term access to disaster recovery bandwidth and when combined with Go Globals Ground Segment services disruption to critical connectivity can be kept to a minimum.

FYI: Disruptions plague East African Internet as submarine cables cut: East Africa has been grappling with significant internet disruptions since May 12, 2024, due to damage sustained by submarine cables, Cloudflare reported. These cables are critical infrastructure for internet connectivity, carrying vast amounts of data traffic between continents.

Submarine cables are estimated to carry over?90 per cent of intercontinental data traffic. This is the third major event affecting internet cables in Africa since February.

Did you know that nearly a million miles of undersea cables power 99% of global internet traffic? Despite the perception of a "cloud-based" internet, these cables lie at the heart of global connectivity, supporting communication, commerce, and even government operations. #Connectivity #Underthesea #IWorkForComcast

AAE-1 and APG Cable Disruptions Impact Vietnam’s Internet Recent faults in the AAE-1 and APG submarine cables have disrupted Vietnam's international internet connectivity. #aae1 #apg #cablefault #internet #submarinecable #telecoms #vietnam https://lnkd.in/g5G_V2Zi

As Eastern Africa continues to suffer internet disruptions due to the 12th of May, 2024 cutoffs in the EASSy and SEACOM submarine cables just off the east coast of South Africa and full repairs a couple of days away, two Ugandan Internet Engineers? Mark Tinka from TransmissionCo and James Byaruhanga of Roke Telkom and Roke Cloud examine four recent submarine cable interruptions across the African continent. With some of the older cables nearing their end-of-life window; internet traffic demand to Africa growing at a CAGR of 44% and 90% of this traffic reliant on submarine cables, the duo make a case for the urgent realisation of more cable projects such as 2Africa, Equiano, and PEACE to increase the reliability of the continent's connectivity. As traffic demand grows and the continent's reliance on the internet for vital service delivery and economic growth soars, the duo conclude that it is also not enough to have newer cables replacing older ones but to also have as many alternatives as is commercially feasible to avoid significant service interruptions or worse, a total continent-wide Internet blackout. https://lnkd.in/dwzmc2f6?
