Israel’s Bezeq International has selected Interoute Communications to expand its physical network right into the heart of Europe.

A 2,300-km submarine cable, named “Jonah,” will connect Israel to Europe using Interoute’s pan-European fiber optic network from the Interoute landing station in Bari, Italy.

Interoute’s landing station in Bari, Italy was chosen because it gave the ability to directly interconnect with Interoute’s network, and opens up possible business opportunities with the major operators already connected to Interoute’s network looking to reach Israel and the rest of the Middle East directly.

“Jonah,” Bezeq International’s advanced cable is equipped with two optical fiber pairs, which gives it a potential capacity of over 7 Terabit/s. This newly available capacity will improve the Internet infrastructure in Israel and help eliminate the bottleneck in connections abroad.
