Medusa Submarine Cable System

Medusa Submarine Cable System is a major intercontinental submarine cable system spanning 13 countries across North Africa, Europe. With 18 landing points — including Algiers, Athens, Barcelona, Benghazi, Bizerte, and 13 more — it forms one of the backbone links carrying international internet traffic between continents. As an intercontinental system, Medusa Submarine Cable System plays a role in the global mesh of over 500 submarine cables that collectively carry more than 95% of international data traffic. 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.
