OpenFiberMap aggregates open-licensed datasets (AfTerFibre, OFDS, PeeringDB, and others) into a single interactive globe, visualizing routes by capacity tier, operational status, and operator. Open map of the world's electricity, telecoms, oil, and gas infrastructure, using data from OpenStreetMap. This visualization tracks the historical evolution of the undersea cable network, global internet peering capacity, and IP allocation dynamics over time. Primary data for modern submarine cables is sourced from TeleGeography. Gas, Oil, & Steam (Yellow) – Marks pipeline or fuel line areas near traffic zones.
