The Finland-Estonia 3 (EESF-3) submarine cable is a vital infrastructure project aimed at enhancing the connectivity between Finland and Estonia. Designed to meet the growing demand for high-capacity data transmission, this cable plays a crucial role in bolstering the digital economy of both nations.
The EESF-3 submarine cable was officially ready for service on December 1, 2020. The cable connects key landing stations located in both countries: it has its Finnish landing station in the city of Helsinki and the Estonian landing station situated in Tallinn. This strategic positioning allows for efficient data transfer between the two capitals and facilitates seamless communication.
With a total capacity of 600 Gbps, the cable significantly increases the available bandwidth for both residential and commercial users. This enhanced capacity not only supports current data demands but also future-proofs the communication infrastructure against the rapidly evolving technological landscape.
The expected lifespan of the EESF-3 submarine cable is approximately 25 years, ensuring long-term reliability and performance. This lifespan is crucial for maintaining the continuity of services and supporting ongoing digital growth.
