About the Dunant Cable System

Dunant is a point-to-point submarine cable linking France and United States. Landing at Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez, Virginia Beach, 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. The transatlantic corridor has been connected by submarine cables since 1858, when the first telegraph cable was laid between Ireland and Newfoundland. 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.
