Submarine cables are the hidden backbone of the global internet. These fiber-optic cables are laid on the ocean floor to connect continents, enabling international data traffic to flow 24/7.
More than 95% of the world’s intercontinental internet traffic runs through these systems. Without them, services like video conferencing, cloud computing, and global banking would grind to a halt.
Why Submarine Cables Matter:
- High Capacity: Support terabits-per-second data flow, ideal for big data and streaming
- Low Latency: Enables near-instant global communication
- Redundancy: Routes are built to avoid single points of failure for network stability
At Quantum Connect, we help organizations access and manage submarine cable capacity — ensuring high-performance connectivity with global reach and local control.
