Global data center connectivity depends on a mix of subsea cables, terrestrial fiber, and satellite networks, with industry estimates indicating that about 95% of international data travels via subsea systems, 4% by terrestrial routes, and less than 1% by satellites. How will this balance evolve as digital infrastructure expands? This episode will explore how investment and innovation across these network types are reshaping data center networks. In particular we address:
- Why is global connectivity so dependent on subsea cables?
- How latency and redundancy influence network planning
- The impact of geopolitical shifts on global network routes
- Preparing for the next stage of global interconnect
