North-West Cable System

North-West Cable System is a submarine cable system operating within Australia, with landing points at Darwin, Port Hedland, Wurrumiyanga. It provides dedicated submarine fiber capacity between these locations, supporting telecommunications, internet access, and enterprise connectivity. Australia's vast coastline and distance from major population centers make submarine cables essential for both domestic and international connectivity. 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.
