Topaz

Topaz is a cross-regional submarine cable connecting Taiwan, Canada, Japan. Its 5 landing points at Dawu, Port Alberni, Shima, Takahagi, Vancouver bridge the networks of East Asia, North America, providing an important path for international data traffic. The transpacific route is one of the busiest data corridors in the world, carrying financial, cloud, and content delivery traffic between Asian and American markets. GeoCables maintains health checks on this cable using distributed RIPE Atlas probes, with automated anomaly detection triggered when RTT exceeds 4x the historical baseline.
