OpenFiberMap aggregates open-licensed datasets (AfTerFibre, OFDS, PeeringDB, and others) into a single interactive globe, visualizing routes by capacity tier, operational status, and operator. Geometries are. This visualization tracks the historical evolution of the undersea cable network, global internet peering capacity, and IP allocation dynamics over time. Primary data for modern submarine cables is sourced from TeleGeography. The interactive SEFE fiber optic network map requires access to Google Maps. We incorporate maps from the “Google Maps” service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The processed data may also include, in particular, your IP addresses and location data. Modern cables use dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM), allowing multiple data streams to be transmitted simultaneously over a single fiber. As of 2024, commercial submarine cables can exceed capacities of 100 terabits per second (Tbps), facilitating global internet traffic. Several. More advanced GIS software like QGIS or ArcGIS can be used, but it requires at least some skills. Since you are reading this post, it means you are also not ready to use specialized fiber.
