GO have announced the launch of a secondary submarine fibre optic cable
to Sicily, which will be used to increase the bandwidth available to
Malta drastically, apart from having more redundancy in case of
failure. The cable will have 4 pairs, of which only 1 will be lit
initially. This pair will be equipped with terminal equipment
supporting 2 wavelengths at 10 Gbps each. That means an extra 20 Gbps
added to the current 2.5 Gbps GO have on the existing cable. This
project will be complete by Q4 2008, and the cable will be connected to
the Interoute network.
