Now it is, because we just dropped our [2025 Submarine Cable Map](https://submarine-cable-map-2025.telegeography.com/). Sponsored by Telecom Egypt, this futuristic, high-contrast design depicts 597 cable systems and 1,712 landings that are currently active or under construction. For those keeping score, that's 38 more cable systems and 76 more landings than last year's edition! *(Looking for the [2026 submarine cable map? Behold it here!](https://resources.telegeography.com/2026-submarine-cable-map))* At the bottom of this map, we zero in on *Networks of the Future* with potential capacity, used capacity, and cable deployment stats for six major submarine cable routes: Trans-Pacific, U.S.–Latin America, Trans-Atlantic, Europe–Sub-Saharan Africa, Europe–Asia via Egypt, and Intra-Asia.

Each edition differs from the last, and all are works of art. The 2025 design is our first cable map printed on a black background, but its vibe is similar to that of the 2017 Global Internet Map: ![global-internet-map-2017-1200px](https://resources.telegeography.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2017/global-internet-map/global-internet-map-2017-1200px.png?width=375&height=260&name=global-internet-map-2017-1200px.png) Real TeleGeography map fans will recall that this was a *glow-in-the-dark* design. ### Memory Lane While we're revisiting older maps, let’s look back at our 2017-2024 Submarine Cable Maps: ![Submarine\_Cable\_Map\_2017\_1500px](https://resources.telegeography.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2017/submarine-cable-map/Submarine_Cable_Map_2017_1500px.jpg?width=375&height=270&name=Submarine_Cable_Map_2017_1500px.jpg)  ![submarine-cable-map-2018-small](https://resources.telegeography.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2018/submarine-cable-map/submarine-cable-map-2018-small.png?width=375&height=270&name=submarine-cable-map-2018-small.png) ![blog.telegeography.comhs-fshubfs2019Submarine Cable Mapsubmarine-cable-map-2019-medium](https://resources.telegeography.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2021/Blog%20Assets/blog.telegeography.comhs-fshubfs2019Submarine%20Cable%20Mapsubmarine-cable-map-2019-medium.jpg?width=375&height=270&name=blog.telegeography.comhs-fshubfs2019Submarine%20Cable%20Mapsubmarine-cable-map-2019-medium.jpg)  ![Submarine\_Cable\_Map\_2020\_Global-4a13df3ad76b230685fd38d81b937a08](https://resources.telegeography.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2020/Blog%20Assets/Submarine_Cable_Map_2020_Global-4a13df3ad76b230685fd38d81b937a08.jpg?width=375&height=270&name=Submarine_Cable_Map_2020_Global-4a13df3ad76b230685fd38d81b937a08.jpg) ![Submarine\_Cable\_Map\_2021\_small](https://resources.telegeography.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2021/Blog%20Assets/Submarine_Cable_Map_2021_small.png?width=375&height=270&name=Submarine_Cable_Map_2021_small.png)  ![Submarine\_Cable\_Map\_2022](https://resources.telegeography.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2022/Landing%20Pages/Submarine_Cable_Map_2022.jpeg?width=375&height=270&name=Submarine_Cable_Map_2022.jpeg) ![Submarine\_Cable\_Map\_2023\_Global-1fc0c54628f0c600d7d7b6293dba3a91-1](https://resources.telegeography.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2023/Blog%20Assets/Submarine_Cable_Map_2023_Global-1fc0c54628f0c600d7d7b6293dba3a91-1.jpg?width=375&height=270&name=Submarine_Cable_Map_2023_Global-1fc0c54628f0c600d7d7b6293dba3a91-1.jpg). ![Submarine-Cable-Map-2024-sm](https://resources.telegeography.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2024/Blog%20Assets/Submarine-Cable-Map-2024-sm.jpg?width=375&height=270&name=Submarine-Cable-Map-2024-sm.jpg) Since 1996, we've watched the cables multiply, the bandwidth demand flourish, and our mapmakers up their game. And you bet we’re already thinking about next year. *Thanks to our generous sponsor [Telecom Egypt](https://www.te.eg/wps/portal/te/Personal) for making the 2025 map possible.* ![Telecom-Egypt.png](https://resources.telegeography.com/hs-fs/hubfs/company-logos/Telecom-Egypt.png?width=320&name=Telecom-Egypt.png "Telecom-Egypt.png") ![Kristin Carlson](https://resources.telegeography.com/hubfs/tg-staff/kristin-lee-telegeography.png) #### Kristin Carlson Kristin is TeleGeography's Content Marketing Manager.
