Blue

Blue is a major intercontinental submarine cable system spanning 6 countries across Middle East, Europe. With 10 landing points — including Aqaba, Bastia, Chania, Genoa, Golfo Aranci, and 5 more — it forms one of the backbone links carrying international internet traffic between continents. The Europe-Middle East corridor runs through the Mediterranean and Red Sea, one of the most strategically important — and vulnerable — cable routes on Earth. GeoCables maintains health checks on this cable using distributed RIPE Atlas probes, with automated anomaly detection triggered when RTT exceeds 4x the historical baseline.
