Nordic Optical Cable Construction Project

Home / Nordic Optical Cable Construction Project

GlobalConnect, a leading Swedish fibre-based broadband operator, has joined a consortium of five Nordic organizations to develop Polar Connect, an ambitious project to build a new fibre optic cable linking Northern Europe, East Asia, and the United States via the Arctic. Eastern Light is currently operating, building and planning a series of fiber-optic cable routes in the Nordics, with the purpose of meeting the fast-growing demand for modern and effective long-haul dark fiber in the region. After clearing 200 bombs from WW2, creating five new subsea routes, and having trenched the Baltic Sea seabed with a specially developed submarine, GlobalConnect has finalized the construction of its 2,600 km super fiber cable, capable of transporting all data in the Nordics. IOEMA is a state-of-the-art, high-capacity, 1400 km repeatered submarine fibre optic project that will arc across five key northern European markets: the UK, The Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Norway, supporting critical infrastructure security with full armouring and burial. The IOEMA cable system consists of a trunk route, connecting Dumpton Gap, UK with Kristiansand, Norway and three branches, connecting.
