SubOptic partners with Terrapin, ICPC, Total Telecom, and TeleGeography to produce an omniscient mapping of all underwater cable networks globally. By partnering and collaborating with other organizations, SubOptic is able to stay up-to-date with the current cable networks as well as new cable networks being laid on the ocean floor.
Data analysis, capturing, and structuring allows SubOptic to compile previous and currently expanding information to the widely available research on submarine cable networks. MAPublisher makes this process easier, allowing researchers to spend more time developing this topic even further. “Many of the infographics that pop up in TeleGeography’s work are generated programmatically, allotting our mapmakers more time to cook up their next big idea.”(TeleGeography)
