WIntroduction

elcome to the eleventh edition of the Submarine Cable Almanac, one of our most popular reference tools. In the months since Issue 10 was released, 19 systems were added, 4 systems were removed and almost every entry has been updated with new information.

In our last issue, we introduced a new format for the Almanac. Given the emails we’ve seen, this format has been quite popular. If you’re 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 you’ve 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.
