Key Agreement Signed for Trans-Caspian Fiber Optic Cable Project Orient
An important milestone has been reached in the implementation of the Trans-Caspian Fiber Optic Cable Line project as key stakeholders have signed a crucial document. The agreement confirms the construction of underwater fiber optic communication lines along the bottom of the Caspian Sea, marking a significant development in enhancing digital connectivity in the region.
According to reports from AZERTAC, the Prime Ministers of Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, Ali Asadov and Olzhas Bektenov, along with the heads of AzerTelecom and Kazakhtelecom, Emil Masimov and Bagdat Musin, have all signed the document, solidifying their commitment to the project.
The Trans-Caspian Fiber Optic Cable Line project is part of the larger “Digital Silk Way” initiative, which aims to establish a high-speed digital corridor between Europe and Asia through Azerbaijan’s territory. This ambitious project is set to revolutionize data transmission and internet connectivity by providing high-bandwidth communication capabilities of up to 400 terabits per second.
Spanning a distance of 380 km along the Caspian Sea floor, the fiber optic communication line will traverse multiple countries including Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan. The construction process will involve various stages such as assessing coastal areas and the seabed, designing and producing durable cables, and finally transporting and installing them. AzerTelecom and Kazakhtelecom have outlined a timeline to complete the construction by the end of 2026.
This collaborative effort reflects the commitment of all involved parties to advancing digital infrastructure and connectivity in the region. The completion of the Trans-Caspian Fiber Optic Cable Line project is expected to pave the way for seamless and high-speed communication between Europe and Asia, underscoring the importance of international cooperation in building a digital future.
