A new submarine route
would guarantee that a
high capacity separate
route remain open in the
unlikely event that
current connections in
Poland become severed.
Submarine cables have
the benefit of being
more secure as they are
free from some of the
problems faced by
terrestrial cable, such as
the accidental cutting of
cables during excavation
works.
The cable would offer an
alternative connection to
the curren t link to
Germany which runs
through Poland. By
having one more
alternative route
Lithuania would become
less isolated in terms of
international fiber
connectivity and would
become more attractive
for large data
companies.
