This incredible map shows the undersea cables that keep the internet alive — and security services are worried Russia could cut themKieran Corcoran
To get an overview about these worldwide infrastructure, Greg Mahlknecht shows a nice webmap on his site:http://www.cablemap.info/. Screenshot: www.cablemap.info In addition to the map you can download the raw data and get a list of cables....
Scientists have known that cables can be used to detect seismic activity—work was done as far back as the 1960s to find out if they could be used to detect submarines or undersea earthquakes. More recently, scientists have looked into the possibility of using distributed acoustic sensing as a...
Yes, it could be the weather but 5 undersea cables down in less than a week is likely to be a coordinated attack. According to (http://personalpages.manchester.ac.uk/staff/m.dodge/cybergeography//atlas/alcatel_large.gif) this looks like maybe half of all the cables in this area. I’...
cables to damage, intentional or not. nearly 200 undersea fiber optic cables link the world's telecommunications, and they are for the most part poorly armored, rarely patrolled and only occasionally monitored. telecommunications market research firm telegeography recently released an intricate map (...
“By using these coastal fiber optic cables, we can basically watch the waves we are used to seeing from shore mapped onto the seafloor, and the way these ocean waves couple into the Earth to create seismic waves,” he said. To make use of the world’s lit fiber-optic cables, Lindsey...
(ace), sat-3 and mainone were among the system cables that observers said were affected in thursday's outage. internet analysis firm cloudflare reported a pattern in the timing of the disruptions that heavily impacted at least 10 countries in west africa, including iv...
Each MSM is connected to DAC with the water-resist D-SUB cables (IP67). The cable lengths are different, depending on the distance of MSMs from DAC, and a pair of 10-m, 20-m, 30-m, and 40-m cables are used. Due to the asymmetric positions of DCU within the HKMSDD segment, ...
First off it was the UK not the US that syarted spying on sub-sea cables, many of which came up in the UK in the south tip of Cornwall in places like Bude Bay not far from Goonhilly satellite ground station. In the 1980’s it became transparently obvious that the UK Government was...
The cableship will have a Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) that will dive at multiple sites on both cables. The ROV will have still and video cameras and a tool to calculate the depth of burial of cable that is not visible. Due to the nature of the work, guard or patrol vessels will ...
