Russia strengthens data transmission between Europe and Asia

"Rostelecom" launched the TEA NEXT trunk line on Russian T8 equipment, using cables from Inkab and Saransk Cable-Optika. The 11,000 km line connects western and eastern Russia, serving as an alternative to undersea links.

Capacity ranges from 384 Tbit/s to over 1 Pbit/s. Technologies support cloud services, AI, and banking operations. Equipment passed qualification tests on the 765 km Moscow - St. Petersburg section.

Foreign operators have already shown interest in the project.
