ARCOS

ARCOS is a major intercontinental submarine cable system spanning 14 countries across Central America, South America, North America. With 24 landing points — including Belize City, Bluefields, Cancún, Cartagena, Cat Island, and 19 more — it forms one of the backbone links carrying international internet traffic between continents. As an intercontinental system, ARCOS plays a role in the global mesh of over 500 submarine cables that collectively carry more than 95% of international data traffic. GeoCables monitors this system's performance through regular RIPE Atlas probe measurements, analyzing RTT patterns to detect degradation before it impacts end users.
