Havhingsten/CeltixConnect-2 (CC-2) is a significant submarine cable project designed to enhance connectivity between Europe and North America. This advanced infrastructure is critical for meeting the growing demand for data transmission across the Atlantic Ocean.
The Havhingsten/CC-2 cable is expected to be ready for service in 2024. It will feature multiple cable landing stations strategically positioned to provide optimal access and connectivity to various regions. Key landing stations for the CC-2 cable include locations in Ireland and the United Kingdom. These landing points are crucial for facilitating high-speed data transfer and supporting a range of digital services.
Total capacity of the Havhingsten/CC-2 submarine cable is designed to be in the range of several terabits per second (Tbps), allowing for substantial bandwidth that meets the demands of modern internet usage and data-intensive applications. This capacity will play a pivotal role in supporting cloud services, streaming, and other online activities that require rapid and reliable data transmission.
The lifespan of the CC-2 cable is anticipated to be around 25 years, reflecting the durability and longevity of modern submarine cable technology. This extended lifespan ensures that the investments made by consortium members will continue to pay dividends through enhanced connectivity and data services over the coming decades.
