"In a move that it said will reduce latency to Western Europe for multinational enterprises in a key region, global connectivity and digital infrastructure provider Arelion has completed a major expansion of its Baltic network, constructing a fully diverse, high-capacity route between Helsinki and Warsaw, creating a resilient ring for traffic between Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. Explaining the rationale for the move, Arelion noted that Finland's datacentre market is projected to reach $5.23bn by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 54.6 percent,"
"The diverse terrestrial route connects the Baltics to Western Europe via subsea and land systems from Helsinki through the Baltics to Warsaw, bypassing Copenhagen and Stockholm to avoid bottlenecks and ensure high-availability connectivity for customers. Using open optical line systems with 400G coherent pluggable optics and 1.6 Tbps connectivity from its Waves programme, the route will provide long-term scalability to support what are anticipated as being the massive data flows of next-generation applications in Europe's growing AI sectors."
Arelion constructed a fully diverse, high-capacity terrestrial route between Helsinki and Warsaw, forming a resilient ring connecting Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. The path reduces latency to Western Europe, increases network diversity in a geopolitically sensitive area, and secures capacity for anticipated traffic growth. The project received partial funding from the EU's CEF2 program to support digital sovereignty in the historically underserved region. The route uses open optical line systems with 400G coherent pluggable optics and 1.6 Tbps Waves connectivity for long-term scalability. The upgrade complements earlier Scandinavian network enhancements to serve hyperscale datacentres and growing AI workloads.
