The newest operational cable is ARIMAO, which became ready for service in 2023, stretching 2,470 kilometers and linking Martinique to Cuba. Other active cables include Kanawa, operational since 2019, connecting to French Guiana; and the Eastern Caribbean Fiber System (ECFS), in service since 1995, which links Martinique to multiple Caribbean nations, including Anguilla and Grenada.
