SMW4 and SMW5 cable connection points in details all over the world
The SEA-ME-WE 4 (South East Asia - Middle East - Western Europe 4) and SEA-ME-WE 5 submarine cable systems provide international connectivity between Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Western Europe.
Here are the connection points for both cable systems all over the world, as of my knowledge cut-off in 2021:
SEA-ME-WE 4 (SMW4):
Southeast Asia: The SEA-ME-WE 4 cable system connects several countries in Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia.
Middle East: The SEA-ME-WE 4 cable system also connects several countries in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman.
Western Europe: The SEA-ME-WE 4 cable system terminates in several countries in Western Europe, including France, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
SEA-ME-WE 5 (SMW5):
Southeast Asia: The SEA-ME-WE 5 cable system connects several countries in Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia.
Middle East: The SEA-ME-WE 5 cable system also connects several countries in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman.
Western Europe: The SEA-ME-WE 5 cable system terminates in several countries in Western Europe, including France, Italy, and the United Kingdom.
These connection points allow for seamless and high-speed connectivity between countries in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Western Europe, enabling businesses and individuals to easily access international networks and services

- ITC bandwidth consumption
- Total bandwidth consumption: 3,440 Gbps (March 2023)
- Bandwidth consumption from SEA-ME-WE 5: 1,400 Gbps
- Bandwidth consumption from SEA-ME-WE 4: 650 Gbps
- Data consumption trends
- Data consumption in Bangladesh is growing rapidly, with an estimated annual growth rate of 30%.
- The main drivers of data consumption growth are the increasing use of mobile internet, video streaming, and social media.
- ITC is working to meet the growing demand for bandwidth by investing in new submarine cables and other infrastructure.
- It is expected that the bandwidth consumption in Bangladesh will continue to grow in the coming years. This will put increasing pressure on the existing submarine cables. ITC is planning to build a new submarine cable, SEA-ME-WE 6, which will provide additional bandwidth capacity to Bangladesh.
