Rostelecom has authorized Huawei Marine to begin the construction of a 900-km submarine fiber cable connecting Kamchatka and Sakhalin.
The construction represents the second phase of the Far East cable system that connects the regions of Kamchatka-Sakhalin-Magadan.
Phase One connecting Sakhalin – Magadan was completed in 2015 along with the land-based telecommunication network on the Kamchatka peninsula. This terrestrial network connects to the submarine cable in the area of Ust-Bolsheretzk, from where the submarine cable is buried beneath the seabed as it crosses the Okhotsk sea, connecting Ust-Bolsheretzk in Kamchatka with Okha residential point in Sakhalin.
