About the Asia-America Gateway (AAG) Cable System Cable System

Asia-America Gateway (AAG) Cable System is a major intercontinental submarine cable system spanning 9 countries across Southeast Asia, North America, East Asia. With 10 landing points — including Changi North, Keawaula, La Union, Lantau Island, Mersing, and 5 more — it forms one of the backbone links carrying international internet traffic between continents. 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. 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.
