Arctic Connect, the joint telecom cable project between Cinia Alliance and Megafon becomes more international as new partners from Japan, Norway and Finland joins Cinia Alliance.
The planned, over 10,000km long trans-Arctic submarine telecom cable will provide an alternative route between Europe and Asia, to complement, strengthen and secure existing connections.
Currently, the project is in development stage and undergoing feasibility studies to prepare for the construction phase, which is scheduled to start in 2022. The cable is aimed to be ready for service in 2023/2024.
The Arctic cable is set to land in the northern Nordics, from where the cable will branch to other locations across Europe. As one of the new investors in Cinia Alliance, Hanko Data Park’s goal is to secure a cable branch to Hanko, which would further strengthen Hanko’s position as a hub for international data traffic.
Artic Connect, Technical details as planned:
3 sub-systems: Express, International, Russia
Between 8-16 Fiber Pairs
Design capacity of 18-22 Tbit/s per FP
18 000 km total system length, including additional branches

Let’s discuss about What’s next for the hyperscale digital infrastructure?
Finland is likely to further strengthen its competitiveness as a location for large data center projects by lowering its energy tax rate in the near future.
The Arctic Connect Telecom Cable project has moved forward as the Cinia alliance, with Japanese and Nordic partners and an international investment bank, and MegaFon signed a MoU 6.6.2019 to set up a joint venture to prepare the build of a submarine telecommunications cable across the Arctic Sea.
Fortum has chosen Hanko Data Parks as partner for marketing their new greenfield hyperscale site.
The new site is now the 5th in Hanko Data Parks’ portfolio. The zoning of Inkoo DC, a 150 ha area for
datacenter, is on-going and will be ready during 2019. The site offers possibilities to improve project
ecology and economics through large scale solar power and energy/heat reuse. A 400 / 110 kV
substation is available on-site and power supply can be extended up to 1000 MW. An existing sea
water cooling system is available at the site and the area is also suitable for air cooling.
Fortum is a leading European low CO2 power and heat company and committed energy partner for
datacenters. Click here for more information about Fortum.
Hanko Data Parks is a Multisite Data Park, where the distance between the sites is 8-25 km. This
opens many possibilities for diverse Data Center-solutions.
Connectivity to European hubs is excellent. Arctic Connect, the subsea cable via the Northeast
Passage, significantly improves connectivity to Asia and North America. Green Energy is available from existing Wind, Hydro and Bio (biomass) Power. Heat recovery– the utility company buys excess heat, which will be used for district heating.
