NICOSIA Cyta and Radius Oceanic Communications have started work on a new high-capacity undersea cable system.
The Poseidon project will provide advanced telecommunications facilities to the offshore oil and gas industry in the Eastern Mediterranean.
It will extend for 800km from two shore landings in Cyprus, creating a self-healing ring that borders the Cypriot EEZ, enveloping the offshore oil and gas lease blocks established for development by the Republic of Cyprus.
Cyta will provide landing facilities and collocation services at its cable stations in Pentaskhinos and Yeroskipos.
Through the system, Radius will offer managed broadband services on a subscriber basis to offshore exploration, production and support facilities in the Eastern Mediterranean.
