About the Glo-1 Cable System

Glo-1 is a cross-regional submarine cable connecting Ghana, United Kingdom, Nigeria. Its 3 landing points at Accra, Bude, Lagos bridge the networks of West Africa, Europe, providing an important path for international data traffic. The West African cable corridor runs along the Atlantic coast, connecting European networks to Africa's fastest-growing internet markets in Nigeria, Ghana, and Senegal. 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.
