Alpal-2

Alpal-2 is a point-to-point submarine cable linking Algeria and Spain. Landing at El Djamila, Ses Covetes, it provides a direct fiber-optic path between the two countries, serving as both a primary data route and a redundancy option for neighboring cable systems. As an intercontinental system, Alpal-2 plays a role in the global mesh of over 500 submarine cables that collectively carry more than 95% of international data traffic. GeoCables tracks this cable using RIPE Atlas measurements from four probes in Minsk, Almaty, Tbilisi, and Jerusalem, comparing live RTT against historical baselines to catch performance shifts early.
