Description

The last international submarine cable to land in Mainland Greece did so in 2003. Almost 20 years after this, the IONIAN Submarine cable will be laid, connecting Preveza in Greece to Crotone in Italy with an unrepeated high fiber count system. This will then be extended in both countries with a terrestrial fiber ring reaching Athens and Thessaloniki in Greece and Milan and Rome in Italy. Overall it will be the most robust and performant international route with a maximum capacity of up to 360 Tbps with current transmission technology.
