The incident offers a glimpse into hybrid connectivity, in which underwater cables and orbital satellites work together to ensure uninterrupted internet access.
With four damaged underwater cables in the Red Sea, telecommunication providers are now looking to the skies for connectivity. Satellite operators are lending their space-based connectivity to reroute internet traffic, suggesting that a hybrid system combining underwater and orbital internet might be the best approach moving forward. Earlier this week, four out of 15 communication cables were cut, disrupting network traffic that flows through the Red Sea.
Satellite operators such as Intelsat are providing back up connectivity to fill in the gaps for the severed cables, SpaceNews reported. Intelsat has a fleet of 52 communication satellites in orbit, providing broadband internet and offering airline passengers inflight connectivity. Other companies, like Eutelsat OneWeb, SES, and, more famously, SpaceX are also in the business of beaming connectivity from Earth orbit.
