FARICE-1
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FARICE-1 is a submarine communications cable system connecting Iceland, Faroe Islands and Scotland. 80% is owned by Icelandic shareholders and 20% by Faroese shareholders.
The cable has been in use since March 2004. This relegated CANTAT-3 to "back up" status for the Faroes and Iceland. In 2007, SHEFA-2 will connect the Faroes, Shetland and Orkney with Scotland.
The landing points are:
- 1. Seyðisfjörður, Iceland, backhauled to 2. Reykjavík
- 3. Funningsfjørður, Faroe Islands, backhauled to 4. Tórshavn
- 5. Dunnet Bay, Scotland, UK, backhauled to 6. Edinburgh
