Mobily Red Sea Cable (MRSC)

Mobily Red Sea Cable (MRSC) is a point-to-point submarine cable linking Saudi Arabia and Egypt. Landing at Duba, Sharm el-Sheikh, it provides a direct fiber-optic path between the two countries, serving as both a primary data route and a redundancy option for neighboring cable systems. As an intercontinental system, Mobily Red Sea Cable (MRSC) plays a role in the global mesh of over 500 submarine cables that collectively carry more than 95% of international data traffic. GeoCables maintains health checks on this cable using distributed RIPE Atlas probes, with automated anomaly detection triggered when RTT exceeds 4x the historical baseline.
