Asia can’t afford a ‘cloudless’ day. That means paying attention to undersea cables
More than 99% of all international data is carried not by satellites but by a physical backbone of subsea cables.
The recent subsea cable damage in Africa and the Red Sea has highlighted the vulnerability of digital operations to physical infrastructure disruptions. These incidents underscore the critical importance of investing in resilient subsea cable networks and end-to-end networks to ensure uninterrupted access to data for AI workloads and cloud services.
As AI demands greater bandwidth and data transfer capabilities, businesses in Asia must pay attention to these undersea cable networks to avoid costly disruptions and maintain operational stability. Singapore and India, with their strategic locations and growing digital infrastructure, are emerging as key data transit hubs that can help mitigate these risks and support the region's AI ambitions.
