Submarine communications cables are an essential backbone of the modern Internet with over 600 active and planned cables. The first submarine cables were laid in the 1850s, marking a major milestone in the history of global connectivity through the enablement of efficient telegraph communication between continents. Today, these cables carry digital data across the globe via an intricate fiber optic network, totaling nearly 1.4 million kilometers.

My Nandan M sincere thanks for sharing it. Can you please help us with region wise information about the same? I'm an Indian and more concern about our nation only. There are about 17 since Feb 2024 for IND, courtesy and reference: https://www.communicationstoday.co.in/india-secures-its-burgeoning-submarine-cables-industry/ 2024 is set to see a number of highly anticipated submarine cable systems worldwide go live this year. The submarine cable systems market estimated at USD 18.28 billion in 2023, at a CAGR of 12.3 percent is expected to be USD 33.29 billion in 2028.

Most people have no idea where their internet connection is sourced from, nor can they comprehend with the signals as they exist on the frequency spectrum. How do you explain this magic to people who do not have an EE background?
Thanks for good information. Present generation are getting advantage from fibre optics communication. When we are students of Electrical & Electronic Engineering BUET Bangladesh 1986-87 to 1989-1990.session our dream one day we will. Technology Transfer makes everything easier.
The graphic is missing subsea fiber to and around Alaska. GCI Communication Corp. has subsea fiber to Seattle, just completed ~800 miles of subsea fiber out the Aleutians and has more currently in the works.
1850s?😲.. I'd never have guessed that early 👏
That’s what makes internet possible 😁
Thanks for sharing
