At the Submarine Networks EMEA Conference in London, IOEMA Fibre Ltd., which was founded last year, launched its High-Capacity Data Backbone project for Northern Europe.

 

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 Eemshaven, The Netherlands; Wilhelmshaven, Germany; and Blaabjerg, Denmark. The cable connects with vital transatlantic crossings Havfrue (DK), Leif Erikson (NO) and other planned Trans-Atlantic cables.


The IOEMA system will be the first submarine fibre optic cable landing on the North Sea shores of Germany in over 25 years. After decommissioning of TAT-14, SEA-ME-WE 3 and others, the IOEMA submarine fibre optic cable system will be the only cable system connecting Germany to the submarine cable networks in the North Sea and beyond. The 48-fibre pair system will support a minimum overall capacity of 1.3 Pb/s. Latency will be improved by up to 5.5 milliseconds on certain routes.

 

Nordic partners

IOEMA bridges core European markets with the Nordics, where Bulk Fibre Networks is acting as a landing party in Norway, facilitating the connectivity to the N01 Data Centre, North of Kristiansand, and further towards Oslo. “Being a landing partner for this key project aligns well with our vision of enabling strategically diversified, sustainable connectivity into the Nordics. Bulk has a strong track-record of complex fiber projects, and we look forward to supporting the IOEMA Project meeting the demand for more critical, diverse infrastructure”, Merete Caubet, VP Bulk Fiber Networks, stated.

 

IOEMA has selected Arelion as the provider of the infrastructure on the shores of Denmark and space in the ex-TAT-14 cable landing station, as well as further connectivity towards Esbjerg and Copenhagen, via their extensive network. “We’re proud to have been selected as landing party and connectivity provider for the IOEMA project. As the world’s number one ranked Internet backbone, we look forward to support increased network capacity and diversity through the project, regionally and internationally”, Mattias Fridström, VP & Chief Evangelist at Arelion said.

 

The company aims to close financing this year and start construction by 2026 for a late 2027 go-live date.
