By integrating the GreenMed subsea cable system with terrestrial fiber networks in Jordan, the partners aim to strengthen resilient connectivity in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East region

A new high-capacity, low-latency route to Europe, delivering diversity, resilience and trusted infrastructure essential to securing Mauritania’s digital sovereignty.

EllaLink and the Islamic Republic of Mauritania today marked the successful landing of a new subsea cable in Nouadhibou, giving the country a second direct, diverse and secure connection to European and international digital hubs. The landing is a defining step for Mauritania’s digital sovereignty, resilience and long-term competitiveness.

The new branch extends more than 670 km from the main EllaLink trunk to the new Nouadhibou cable landing station. Equipped with two fibre pairs and state-of-the-art optical technology, it delivers multi-gigabit connectivity from day one, scalable to multi-terabit capacity, with significant headroom to accommodate decades of traffic growth.

The project is co-funded by the Mauritanian State and the European Union through the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), reinforcing Europe’s commitment to secure, high-capacity digital links with Mauritania and the wider Atlantic region. In Nouadhibou, EllaLink has built a new neutral cable landing station, enabling national operators to access the infrastructure via two diverse routes.
