Research-driven infrastructure data
The Global Internet Database (GiDB) Data Service delivers high-fidelity structured datasets that enable organizations to focus on insight rather than data preparation.

Bridging the Gap Between Information and Usable Insight
Internet infrastructure underpins critical decisions—yet the data describing it is often difficult to use. Information is frequently:
- Fragmented across multiple sources
- Presented in inconsistent formats
- Embedded in unstructured material
Structured for Immediate Use
Built through dedicated long-term research our service focuses on identifying, structuring, and maintaining key attributes in a consistent format.
Where evidence allows, data points are explicitly asserted. Where certainty is limited, representations are defined based on research confidence.
Designed for Real-World Use
Data aligned with your actual mission and usage.
| Usage Case | Description & Objective |
|---|---|
| Internal Analysis | Use the data to support research, modeling, and strategic decision-making within your organization. |
| Consulting | Incorporate structured infrastructure data into high-stakes analyses, reports, and client deliverables. |
| Commercial Products | Integrate the data into offerings delivered to third parties. |
Subsea Cable Systems
A structured representation of the internet’s physical foundation.
Connectivity Patterns
Understand global data movement and regional interdependencies through verified routing data.
Infrastructure Dependencies
Assess risk and diversity by mapping physical network topology and landing points.
Downstream Enrichment
Built for integration and comparison rather than just observation.
The Team Behind Fiber Atlantic
Since its launch, FiberAtlantic.com has become one of the internet’s most trusted public resources for visualizing global subsea infrastructure.
While our public map provides an essential visual overview for the community, the GiDB Data Service was created for the rigorous demands of engineers, analysts, and consultants who require structured, research-validated datasets rather than just a visual representation.
Building the foundation of global internet infrastructure analysis
Where deep research meets engineering
Truth with Integrity
The Data Service is built on original research and specialized fact-finding. We validate and contextualize every data point to ensure it represents reality.
Assertions
Built for Integration, Not Friction
All datasets are structured for direct use in analytical environments. No manual cleaning, no format translation.
