This paper looks at how Racal Pelagos, Inc. (Racal Pelagos) has exploited recent advancements in data management, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and the Internet to develop a system that significantly improves the manner in which RPL and geospatial submarine cable data in general is managed and distributed. The system focuses on the fundamental architecture of cable data rather than on standard file formats, thus enabling implementation of cable data in an internet-accessed relational database. The result is an Internet-based delivery system that provides users with immediate and instantaneous access to various cable data. In addition, this evolvement of “GIS through the Web” will promote the use of distributed databases and allow remote interaction with these databases.
