Manatua

Manatua is a regional submarine cable serving 4 countries: Cook Islands, Niue, Samoa, French Polynesia. With landing points at Aitutaki, Alofi, Apia, Rarotonga, To'ahotu, and 1 more, it strengthens regional internet resilience and provides route diversity — crucial when nearby cables experience faults. Submarine cables in this region contribute to a mesh of redundant paths that keep internet traffic flowing even when individual systems are damaged or under maintenance. This cable is part of GeoCables' continuous monitoring program — RIPE Atlas probes measure latency around the clock, flagging anomalies when RTT deviates significantly from established baselines.
