Subsea cable systems: the new high-capacity, high-resilience backbone of the AI-driven global network
Introduction: The subsea cable industry is entering a high-growth, high-complexity phase driven primarily by AI, hyperscale cloud expansion, and geopolitical risk. Subsea fiber-optic systems that carry more than 95% of international data traffic are being reassessed, re-engineered, and re-regulated. As of 2024, there were reportedly more than 600 submarine cable systems (532 operational + 77… Read more
Telecom network outages: causes, effects, and remedies for telecom providers & IT enterprise
Network outages, historically caused by misconfigurations, software defects, or hardware failures, are increasingly disruptive for several reasons, such as hyper-connectivity, single points of failure and over-reliance on concentrated hyperscaler cloud infrastructures. This leads to an expanded “blast radius” from single points of failure. The latest Cloudflare outage reveals that enterprises heavily reliant on a dangerously few major… Read more
