The invisible infrastructure of global connectivity

The Trans-Pacific Express (TPE) submarine cable is one of the most important trans-Pacific cable systems and connects the USA directly with China, South Korea and Taiwan. As one of the first cable systems to connect China directly to the U.S. West Coast, TPE occupies a strategically prominent position in the global digital infrastructure. The cable was built and operated by a broad consortium of leading telecommunications companies from across the Pacific region. Submarine cables such as TPE form the invisible foundation of global data traffic, with over 99% of international data flowing through them rather than through satellites or the cloud.

Route & connection

TPE connects Nedonna Beach (Oregon, USA) with several landing points in East Asia, including Chongming (China), Pusan (South Korea) and Fangshan (Taiwan). This multi-point connectivity makes TPE a particularly valuable cable system for companies looking to simultaneously access the Chinese, South Korean and Taiwanese markets via a single trans-Pacific route. With a total length of around 17,700 kilometers, TPE is one of the longest trans-Pacific cable systems.
