This video presents the SEA-SPINE project, an initiative to strengthen digital connectivity across 11 Greek islands in the Aegean Sea through the deployment of new subsea and terrestrial fibre infrastructure. The project involves the construction of 7 new underwater fibre optic cables, covering 563 km at sea and 232 km on land, to improve the capacity, resilience and flexibility of backbone networks in a geographically challenging island region. By reinforcing connectivity between the islands and mainland networks, SEA-SPINE will support better mobile and fixed broadband services, lower latency for critical applications, and more reliable digital infrastructure for local communities. The project was co-financed by the CEF Digital Programme. This video is part of the European Broadband Competence Offices Network’s programme promoting awareness of good practices in broadband projects and EU digital connectivity initiatives.
