A cable-laying ship has departed from Baku, Azerbaijan, initiating the laying of an underwater fiber-optic line along the Caspian Sea's bottom towards Aktau, Kazakhstan. The Trans Caspian Digital Highway project, a joint venture between JSC 'Kazakhstan Telecom' and AzerTelecom Int., aims to create a new digital highway between the two countries, increasing international data transmission reliability and bandwidth. If weather permits, cable laying is expected to be completed within 15-20 days, with the entire highway operational by the end of 2026. The optical fiber line is approximately 390 km long, with a capacity of 400 Tbps, creating an independent digital route between Europe and Asia.
