Europe India Gateway (EIG)

Europe India Gateway (EIG) is a major intercontinental submarine cable system spanning 11 countries across North Africa, Middle East, Europe. With 12 landing points — including Abu Talat, Barka, Bude, Fujairah, Gibraltar, and 7 more — it forms one of the backbone links carrying international internet traffic between continents. As an intercontinental system, Europe India Gateway (EIG) plays a role in the global mesh of over 500 submarine cables that collectively carry more than 95% of international data traffic. Real-time monitoring by GeoCables compares current latency measurements from RIPE Atlas probes against baseline data to identify anomalies on this cable route.
