The East African Marine System (TEAMS)

The East African Marine System (TEAMS) is a point-to-point submarine cable linking United Arab Emirates and Kenya. Landing at Fujairah, Mombasa, 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, The East African Marine System (TEAMS) 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.
