As the year comes to a close, a few TeleGeographers joined us on the podcast to review the major telecom events of the past 12 months and chat about what we might anticipate in 2025. A huge thank you to Lane Burdette, Patrick Christian, Jonathan Hjembo, Brianna Boudreau, and Robert Schult for lending their expertise.

Vinay Prabhu, Director of Product Management at Graphiant is our latest guest on TeleGeography Explains the Internet. He recently joined us to discuss the intricacies of moving data around the globe 🌐 The purpose of networks, of course, is to move data around the world, but we often think about data and applications as what we do with them at the edge or how they're stored in data centers. Vinay helps us consider what happens to data between those two points. 🎧 https://hubs.ly/Q030d3wB0

Did you know that Hawaii plays a pivotal role in keeping the world connected? It’s more than just paradise; Hawaii serves as a critical connectivity node bridging North America and the Asia-Pacific 🌈 And with 8 subsea cables in service on O’ahu alone (plus 4 more in the pipeline), these islands wield an outsized influence in the subsea sector. The TeleGeography team will be in Honolulu next month for our annual telecom trends workshop at PTC ‘25 (https://hubs.ly/Q030d14S0). Naturally, this got us wondering about how Honolulu stacks up according to our new Market Connectivity Score. If you’d like a quick rundown on what this chart means, how each score was calculated, and how other cities compare, we’ve got a few in-person demo slots available during PTC ‘25.

In a recent "TeleGeography Explains the Internet" episode, Rutger Bevaart and Greg Bryan discuss why moving away from MPLS networks makes sense for enterprises seeking a more flexible and agile infrastructure to support new digital environments. But as the saying goes, new solutions breed new problems (though nothing that can't be solved with a little help from your friends at GNX 🤝). 🎧 Listen to the full episode at https://lnkd.in/eVmXVJfP #enterprisenetworks #globalwan #internet
