About the Seychelles to East Africa System (SEAS) Cable System

Seychelles to East Africa System (SEAS) is a point-to-point submarine cable linking Tanzania and Seychelles. Landing at Dar Es Salaam, Victoria, 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, Seychelles to East Africa System (SEAS) plays a role in the global mesh of over 500 submarine cables that collectively carry more than 95% of international data traffic. 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.
