Rostelecom picks TIC to manage new Russia-Europe link

Tuesday 21 February 2012 | 09:41 CET | News
Russian national operator Rostelecom has selected TeliaSonera International Carrier to operate and manage its new backbone network between Kingisepp, Russia and Stockholm, Sweden. The next-generation managed optical network provides connectivity between the cable landing points of the Baltic Cable System, Kingisepp and Kotka, implemented over TeliaSonera International Carrier's wholly-owned fibre-optic infrastructure to Stockholm, Sweden. The platform, with an initial 600 Gbps capacity is scalable up to 3.2 Tbps and provides a guaranteed service life of least 10 years. It will complement Rostelecom's existing infrastructure to Europe and provide a further diverse route from Russia to Stockholm for its TEA Network (Transit Europe Asia) service.
