Greenland Connect

Initial lit capacity is 1*10 Gbit/s for each fibre pair.

Together these cables interconnects the networks of major carriers in Europe and North America.

"[2] Cable was laid from Trinity Bay, Newfoundland to Greenland by the "Maersk Responder" supported by the "Blue Castor" during July to October 2008 and from Landeyjarsandur to Greenland by the "Ile de Sein" supported by the "Ile de Brehat" The cable was put in operation on March 23, 2009, and instantly reduced internet latency by approximately 500 ms in Nuuk.

In April 2016 the board of TELE-POST announced a decision for an extension of the sea cable along the west coast of Greenland from Nuuk towards Aasiaat.

[3] Later in 2016 it was announced that Tele Greenland had partnered with Alcatel-Lucent[4] and Huawei Marine[5] to both upgrade the existing Greenland Connect cable from 1.92T to 12.8T as well as deploy a 680 km extension called Greenland Connect North.
