We will be attending Submarine Networks EMEA 27-28th May; leading annual subsea connectivity event in the region.
Eastern Light are now ramping up deploying several exiting new stretches in the “Nordic Corridor” and “Nordic Link” that we would like to share with you.
If you’re attending, we’d be glad to connect. Get in touch to discuss how we can support your dark fiber needs across the Nordics!

Eastern Light continues to expand its Nordic dark fiber infrastructure. To meet rising demand on its Stockholm (Equinix SK2) – Helsinki subsea system (“SF-I”), the shortest existing fiber route between the two capitals, the company has established a new south‑bound sea cable in eastern Helsinki, connecting directly to Telia/Arelion’s major communications hub at Iso Roobertinkatu 21.

Eastern Light is already present in the Finnish capital through its sites at Kiviaidankatu 2 and Equinix HE6, and this new connection further strengthens its position as an independent provider of high‑capacity, low‑latency fiber routes across the region.

“This is an important step for us and for our customers,” said Mikael Vesterlund, COO at Eastern Light. “By adding this link, we can offer more customers a fully redundant route between the capitals of Sweden and Finland, ensuring even greater availability, resilience, and flexibility — not only for long-haul connectivity but also for metro diversity within the region.”

The new connection is part of Eastern Light’s long‑term initiative “Nordic Link” — a network of unique, express dark‑fiber routes interconnecting the largest data centers across the Nordics, designed to deliver the performance and scalability required for tomorrow’s data‑driven world.
