Undersea Fiber Optic Cables | Vibepedia

Undersea fiber optic cables are the primary infrastructure for international internet traffic, with companies like SubCom, TE Connectivity, and Alcatel-Lucent designing and installing these cables. The first undersea fiber optic cable, TAT-8, was launched in 1988 by a consortium including AT&T, British Telecom, and France Telecom. Today, undersea cables like the MAREA cable, developed by Facebook, Microsoft, and Telxius, carry over 99% of international internet traffic.
