About This Map
This map follows SUBCO's SMAP hypercable around the southern coast of Australia, the landing stations it comes ashore at, the data centres connected to each one, and the cables it sits alongside: the legacy terrestrial backbone, the Oman Australia Cable, the planned APX East route, and every other subsea cable landing in Australia. Renewable energy zones near each landing can be turned on to see what could power a facility there.
Records come from SUBCO's own announcements, cable owners' published specifications, and the declared renewable energy zones. Each record carries the source it came from.
The map is reviewed on the first business day of each month, and the date above the map is the date the data was last checked, not the date you opened the page.
