New 150-km Baltic Sea cable to boost Sweden-Finland data resilience

A new 150-km submarine cable is being laid from Sweden's Roslagen archipelago to Finland via Åland, driven by AI-driven data growth and the need for redundancy after recent Baltic Sea cable damage. The project highlights critical infrastructure vulnerabilities in the Nordic region, where only about a dozen cables serve the entire area. This is a proactive measure to enhance digital resilience, but the timeline and capacity details remain unspecified.
