NEQSOL Holding Announces Trans-Caspian Fiber Optic Cable Line Connecting Europe and Asia in Next Phase of Digital Silk Way Project
The Digital Silk Way, a world-first initiative worth over 250 million USD, will increase connectivity, build robust digital infrastructure and contribute economic growth for millions of people. The Trans-Caspian Cable Project, a strategically significant part of this initiative, involves the construction of a 380 km long fiber-optic cable line along the seabed of the Caspian Sea, connecting Sumgait (Azerbaijan) and Aktau (Kazakhstan). This will enable high-capacity data transmission, supporting speeds of up to 400 terabits per second.
According to Yusif Jabbarov, CEO of NEQSOL Holding, owner of AzerTelecom and lead investor of the Digital Silk Way initiative, “The Trans-Caspian Fiber Optic Cable Line is a crucial part of the Digital Silk Way project, which aims to create a digital telecommunications mega corridor spanning the territories of Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan. This vital innovation will provide the most optimal and shortest route for data transmission, with high bandwidth and minimal latency, boosting regional connectivity and contributing to the economic growth of these countries. I am incredibly proud of the team that has led this implementation and thus created an historic milestone for the entire region.”
The construction process will be carried out in multiple stages, including the assessment of coastal areas and the seabed, the design and production of high-quality, durable cables, as well as their transportation and installation. AzerTelecom and Kazakhtelecom plan to complete the construction by the end of 2026.
