Network Operator and Undersea Cable Profiles
TeleGeography's Global Bandwidth Research Service profiles 330 long-haul
network operators and 266 undersea cables.
Network operator profiles include network maps, a summary of cities
covered, and undersea cable holdings. The profiles document carrier's service
offerings, purchase options, contact information, and company background.
Submarine cable profiles include cable maps, landing points, lit and potential
capacity (by segment, where applicable), service offerings, contact
information, and cable ownership information.
Networks Database
The Global Bandwidth Networks Database is a valuable online tool for
understanding network geography and quickly identifying potential partners and
rivals. Use the database to quickly answer such questions as:
Which carriers connect to Milan and Oslo?
