Transatlantic fibre optic cable on course to make land at Old Head Published: Tuesday, 23 February 2021 10:51
A transatlantic fibre optic cable is on course to make land at Old Head in Mayo this Autumn. The America Europe Connect 2 subsea fibre optic cable is currently at the foreshore licensing application stage.
At yesterday’s monthly meeting of Westport-Belmullet Municipal District councillors were told that public consultation on the proposal is still open for submissions.
Andy Hudson of Aqua Comms attended the online meeting and explained that once operational, the line will provide high speed and significantly increased capacity between the US, Ireland and Europe.
