About the Hawaiki Cable System

Hawaiki is a cross-regional submarine cable connecting United States, New Zealand, Tonga, American Samoa, Australia. Its 6 landing points at Hillsboro, Kapolei, Mangawhai, Neiafu, Pago Pago, and 1 more bridge the networks of North America, Oceania, providing an important path for international data traffic. As an intercontinental system, Hawaiki plays a role in the global mesh of over 500 submarine cables that collectively carry more than 95% of international data traffic. GeoCables maintains health checks on this cable using distributed RIPE Atlas probes, with automated anomaly detection triggered when RTT exceeds 4x the historical baseline.
