been taken, based on changing circumstances and dynamic factors, incomplete

FOREWORD
elcome to the eighteenth edition of the Submarine Cable Almanac, one of

our most popular reference tools. In this issue we updated 154 systems
and added 1 new system.
Coinciding with the recent release of our new interactive Submarine Cables of the
World online map, we have added a News field, where you can find the current
news related to a cable system, if available.
If youre interested in finding a specific system, or wish to see all systems in a
region, simply type that name or region into the search function. We hope that
you, our readers, will participate in this almanac as youve done with our previous
products.
There is always room for additional data, so let us know if there is something
else we should include in future editions. Please let us know by completing our
Submarine Almanac Update Form, available by clicking here, or by emailing
almanac@subtelforum.com.
Submarine Cable Almanac
Finally, I want to thank all of the sponsors, staff and dedicated readers that
contributed to this Almanac. Your feedback has been invaluable.
