The art of submarine cable maintenance

AS of 2020, a private telecommunications market research and consulting firm believes there are over 1.2 million kilometers of submarine cables in service globally, enough to go around the world about 30 times.

“Some cables are quite short, like the 131km CeltixConnect cable between Ireland and the United Kingdom. In contrast, others are incredibly long, such as the 20,000km Asia-America Gateway cable (partly owned by Telekom Malaysia Bhd or TM).
