Radius Oceanic Communications and the Cyprus Telecommunications Authority (Cyta) announced the launch of the Poseidon project, a high capacity undersea cable system intended to provide advanced telecommunications facilities to the offshore oil & gas industry in the Eastern Mediterranean region.
The Poseidon system will extend for 800km from two shore landings in Cyprus, creating a self-healing ring that borders the Cypriot EEZ, enveloping the offshore oil and gas lease blocks established for development by the Republic of Cyprus. Radius has teamed with Cyta, which provides landing facilities and collocation services at its cable stations in Pentaskhinos and Yeroskipos. Through the Poseidon system, Radius will offer managed broadband services on a subscriber basis to offshore exploration, production and support facilities in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Cyta is the leading telecommunications provider in Cyprus, providing the full spectrum of electronic communications services ranging from fixed and mobile telephony to Internet service provision and broadband applications.
Through Cyta's telecommunications hub, Radius says it will be able to provide its offshore customers with secure, low-latency broadband connections to key locations worldwide.
