About the HANNIBAL System Cable System

HANNIBAL System is a point-to-point submarine cable linking Tunisia and Italy. Landing at Kelibia, Mazara del Vallo, it provides a direct fiber-optic path between the two countries, serving as both a primary data route and a redundancy option for neighboring cable systems. As an intercontinental system, HANNIBAL System plays a role in the global mesh of over 500 submarine cables that collectively carry more than 95% of international data traffic. GeoCables monitors this system's performance through regular RIPE Atlas probe measurements, analyzing RTT patterns to detect degradation before it impacts end users.
