Palapa Ring East

Palapa Ring East is a domestic submarine cable network within Indonesia, connecting 18 coastal and island locations including Agats, Baa, Kep. Aru, Kokar, Kota Mappi, and 13 more. The system provides essential telecommunications infrastructure for communities that would otherwise depend entirely on satellite or microwave links. Indonesia, the world's largest archipelago with over 17,000 islands, relies heavily on domestic submarine cables to connect its geographically dispersed population. 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.
