Dakar serves as Senegal's gateway to the global submarine cable network, with three documented systems connecting the country to Europe, the Americas and the broader West African coast.

Seychelles connects to the global submarine cable network via the PEACE Cable, an active international system. With a single documented cable link, the archipelago's digital connectivity rests on limited subsea infrastructure.

Sierra Leone's submarine cable connections are not yet documented in this register. The country's international connectivity picture — whether via direct cable landings, terrestrial transit, or satellite — is under active compilation.

Somalia connects to the global submarine network through a single active cable landing at Mogadishu, leaving the country's international bandwidth dependent on one system while a second cable remains at the planning stage.

South Africa anchors submarine cable connectivity across the southern tip of the African continent, with landing points on both its Atlantic and Indian Ocean coastlines serving a mix of active, retired and planned systems.

South Sudan has no documented submarine cable connections. The country depends on satellite links and overland fibre transit through neighbouring states to reach the global internet — a fragile arrangement for one of Africa's youngest nations.

Tanzania reaches the global submarine network through Dar es Salaam, where two active cables — EASSy and ZanLink — land to serve one of East Africa's larger coastal economies.

Togo connects to the global submarine network through a single cable landing at Lomé. That sole link to WACS places the country among the more exposed coastal nations on the West African seaboard.

Uganda has no documented direct submarine cable landings. The country reaches the global network through terrestrial transit connections to coastal neighbours, with the Coral Sea Cables register for Uganda still being compiled.

Zambia is a landlocked nation in southern Africa with no direct submarine cable landings. Its international connectivity depends on terrestrial fibre transit through neighbouring coastal states and, where ground links fall short, satellite capacity.

Zimbabwe has no submarine cable landings on record. The country reaches the global internet through terrestrial cross-border links and satellite capacity, with its connectivity profile dependent on neighbours that do hold cable access.

Armenia has no documented submarine cable landings. A landlocked country in the South Caucasus, it reaches the global network through terrestrial cross-border links and, where available, satellite capacity.

Azerbaijan has no submarine cable landings documented in this register. The country's international connectivity relies on terrestrial fibre transit and satellite links rather than direct access to the global undersea network.

Bahrain connects to the global submarine cable network through two active systems serving the Gulf region, though specific route and capacity details for both cables remain under documentation.

Cyprus sits at a crossroads of submarine cable routes linking Europe, the Middle East and Africa. A growing roster of active systems gives the island meaningful redundancy, with further capacity on the way.

Georgia's documented submarine cable footprint is minimal — a single active system linking it to Russia. The country's connectivity profile reflects both the constraints of Black Sea geography and the limits of the current register.

Iraq reaches the global submarine cable network through two active systems, though no landing points are yet documented — leaving the precise shape of its undersea connectivity still being mapped.

Israel connects to the global submarine network through five documented undersea cables landing at Haifa and Tel Aviv, spanning two decades of infrastructure investment across Eastern Mediterranean routes.

Jordan's documented submarine cable footprint is slim — one active system, Blue-Raman, with details still being compiled. The picture that emerges is of a country navigating international connectivity through limited direct marine infrastructure.

Kuwait reaches the global submarine cable network through three active systems, connecting it to Gulf neighbours and broader international routes — though landing point details remain to be documented on this register.

Lebanon's documented connection to the global submarine cable network rests on a single system, I-ME-WE, leaving the country with limited subsea redundancy and a narrower margin for resilience than most of its regional neighbours.

Oman sits at a natural crossroads between the Gulf, South Asia and East Africa, with seven active submarine cables anchoring its international connectivity through landing infrastructure centred on Muscat.

No submarine cable landings have been documented for Palestine. Connectivity to the global network appears to depend on terrestrial transit routes through neighbouring countries and, where available, satellite links.

Qatar connects to the global submarine cable network through three active systems, anchored by a major long-haul route stretching from Asia to Europe alongside two regional Gulf cables.

Saudi Arabia sits at a crossroads of major east-west cable corridors, with nine submarine systems on record serving the kingdom — a mix of established trunk routes and newer high-capacity builds reflecting the country's strategic position between Asia, Europe and Africa.

Syria's documented connection to the global submarine cable network rests on a single active system, Hawk, leaving the country's international bandwidth with limited redundancy and significant exposure to any disruption on that route.

Turkey sits at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, with a small but active cluster of submarine cables landing at Istanbul anchoring its international connectivity to regional and intercontinental routes.

The United Arab Emirates connects to the global submarine cable network through Fujairah, a landing point that punches well above its size given the UAE's position as a regional transit and data hub.

Yemen sits at a strategic maritime crossroads where the Red Sea meets the Gulf of Aden, yet its submarine cable connectivity remains thin — a handful of systems serving a country whose geography promises far more.

Austria is a landlocked country with no direct submarine cable connections. Its international connectivity depends entirely on terrestrial fibre transit through neighbouring coastal states to reach the global undersea network.

Belgium lands two active submarine cables and has a third under development, giving the country a modest but growing direct foothold in the North Sea's dense web of international connectivity infrastructure.

France holds one of the densest submarine cable footprints in Western Europe, with Atlantic, Mediterranean and cross-Channel landings that anchor traffic between North America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

Germany's North Sea coastline anchors a mix of transatlantic and intra-European submarine cables, giving the country direct fibre links to North America and Scandinavia alongside terrestrial connectivity across the continent.

Liechtenstein has no submarine cable landings of its own. The landlocked principality reaches the global network through terrestrial transit via neighbouring countries, with no direct fibre-to-sea path documented.

Luxembourg has no submarine cable landings on record. As a landlocked country, it reaches the global fibre network through terrestrial cross-border links to neighbouring coastal states.

Monaco has no submarine cable landings documented in this register. The principality's international connectivity is understood to rely on terrestrial links through neighbouring France rather than direct cable infrastructure.

The Netherlands lands a dozen submarine cables along its North Sea coastline, anchoring one of Europe's most strategically positioned digital crossroads between transatlantic routes and the continent's terrestrial backbone.

Switzerland has no submarine cable landings — the country is landlocked. Its international connectivity depends entirely on terrestrial fibre transit through neighbouring states, with no direct entry point to the global undersea network.

Antarctica has no documented submarine cable connections. The continent depends entirely on satellite links for its communications, a function of its remoteness, extreme environment, and the absence of any permanent civilian population requiring commercial-grade fibre.

Taiwan sits at a busy crossroads of trans-Pacific and regional submarine cables, with a mix of active systems spanning routes to the United States, Japan and beyond — underpinning the island's heavily export-oriented digital economy.
