Mishima Village

Mishima Village is a domestic submarine cable network within Japan, connecting 4 coastal and island locations including Iojima, Kuroshima, Makurazaki, Takeshima. The system provides essential telecommunications infrastructure for communities that would otherwise depend entirely on satellite or microwave links. Japan's island geography makes it one of the most cable-dependent nations on Earth, with dozens of domestic submarine systems connecting its archipelago. 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.
