Mauritius and Rodrigues Submarine Cable System (MARS)

Mauritius and Rodrigues Submarine Cable System (MARS) is a submarine cable system operating within Mauritius, with landing points at Baie Jacotet, Grand Baie (Rodrigues). It provides dedicated submarine fiber capacity between these locations, supporting telecommunications, internet access, and enterprise connectivity. 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.
