Submarine Telecoms Forum, Inc. is an independent industry-specific digital and print publishing company, providing a forum for the expression of technical, financial and business ideas related to subsea cables. SubTel Forum is the submarine cable industry’s first electronic, dedicated magazine, RSS Feed, streaming video service, and platform for discourse on submarine telecom cable. Ideas, systems and companies featured in the magazine are given unequal prominence within the industry thanks to its 100,000+ readers in 120+ countries. SubTel Forum Magazine is an independent commercial publication, serving as a freely accessible forum for professionals in industries connected with submarine optical fiber technologies and techniques. SubTel Forum’s Submarine Cable Database and online Interactive Cable Map (www.submarinecablesoftheworld.com) provide insight and analysis for the Submarine Cable Almanac, Cable Map, Industry Tender Package and Industry Newsfeed. The Submarine Cable Database was initially developed in 2013 and modified with real-time data thereafter, and tracks some 450+ current and planned domestic and international cable systems, including project information suitable for querying by client, year, project, region, system length, capacity, landing points, data centers, owners, installers, etc. The Submarine Cable Database is purpose-built by a dedicated database administration team, powered by SQL and retained on a Microsoft Azure platform. Maps are produced with ArcGIS Pro, in the same format and visual style as Submarine Cables of the World print map.
