The millions of kilometers of fiber optic cable lying on the ocean floor have traditionally been invisible assets—laid once and forgotten until something breaks. But Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology is transforming this dark infrastructure into a vast network of intelligent sensors capable of detecting everything from anchor drags to earthquakes.

The internet depends on a network of submarine cables no thicker than a garden hose, yet these tiny conduits carry the vast majority of global internet traffic. As digital demand explodes and new cables proliferate, cable route engineers face an increasingly complex challenge: finding space on the seafloor for new systems while maintaining the safety and reliability of existing infrastructure.

Global internet bandwidth increased by 23% in 2025, maintaining its consistent pace of steady growth. Total international bandwidth now stands at an impressive 1,835 Tbps, representing a four-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24%. Although the pace of growth has slowed ever so slightly in recent years, bandwidth has still more than doubled since 2021.

While new submarine cable systems are being built to expand global internet capacity, the maintenance of submarine cables has not seen the investment required to maintain these systems.
