TeleGeography's 2026 Submarine Cable Map

Happy 30th birthday to TeleGeography's telecommunications map! 

We're excited to release our 2026 Submarine Cable Map—the 30th edition of our iconic annual telecom map, depicting global subsea cable systems through beautiful design.

Unlike our interactive submarine cable map, this printed work of art has been adorning the walls of corporate offices, board rooms, university classrooms, and even living rooms for decades.

This new edition depicts:

• 694 cable systems, with in-service and planned cables clearly denoted
• 1,893 landing stations
• Ready-for-service date alongside planned cables
