SeaMeWe-4

SeaMeWe-4 is a major intercontinental submarine cable system spanning 14 countries across North Africa, South Asia, Middle East. With 16 landing points — including Alexandria, Annaba, Bizerte, Chennai, Colombo, and 11 more — it forms one of the backbone links carrying international internet traffic between continents. The Europe-Middle East corridor runs through the Mediterranean and Red Sea, one of the most strategically important — and vulnerable — cable routes on Earth. GeoCables maintains health checks on this cable using distributed RIPE Atlas probes, with automated anomaly detection triggered when RTT exceeds 4x the historical baseline.
