Orange Tunisia and Medusa Submarine Cable System signed an agreement to deploy a submarine cable stretching from Lisbon to the Egyptian city of Port Said, passing various Mediterranean countries en route. It will have 16 landing points in different countries including Portugal, Morocco, Spain, Algeria, France, Tunisia, Italy, Greece, Cyprus and Egypt.
At more than 8,000 km in length, the system is believed to be the longest in the Mediterranean. Implementation is scheduled for the end of 2025.
