Anjana is a transatlantic submarine cable system connecting Spain and the United States across the North Atlantic corridor. With a total length of 7,121 km, it links the Iberian Peninsula to the eastern seaboard of the United States, serving one of the most heavily used intercontinental communications corridors in the world. Anjana is owned by Meta, the American technology company.
In Spain, Anjana lands at Santander, located on the northern coast of the Iberian Peninsula along the Bay of Biscay.
In the United States, the cable comes ashore at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on the Atlantic coast.
Anjana is owned solely by Meta. Meta has invested in several privately owned submarine cable systems to support the connectivity demands of its global platforms and services.
Anjana spans 7,121 km across the North Atlantic, placing it among the shorter transatlantic routes given the relatively direct path between northern Spain and the southeastern United States coast.
Anjana is planned to be ready for service in 2026. The system is not yet operational at the time of writing and is expected to enter service during that year.
The transatlantic corridor between Spain and the United States is served by a number of cable systems of varying scale. Anjana, at 7,121 km, is considerably shorter than peers such as 2Africa, which also lands in Spain, and regional systems landing in the United States including Project Waterworth, Southern Cross Cable Network, South America-1, GlobeNet, and Bulikula. Its more direct northerly routing between Santander and Myrtle Beach contributes to its comparatively compact length for a transatlantic system.
Performance measurements recorded over the past 60 days, based on 131 ping tests, show an average round-trip latency of 97.7 ms, with a best recorded result of 23.2 ms.
Anjana will provide a dedicated transatlantic link between Spain and the United States upon entering service. With only two landing points — one on each side of the Atlantic — the system offers a focused connection between the Iberian Peninsula and the US Atlantic coast, consolidating Meta's privately held transatlantic cable infrastructure in this corridor.
