A fault has been detected in the Cinia Oy C-Lion1 submarine cable between Finland and Germany and corrective measures have been initiated
A fault has been detected in the Cinia Oy C-Lion1 submarine cable between Finland and Germany early after 4 a.m. on Monday 18th November, 2024. Due to the fault, the services provided over the C-Lion1 are down.
The details of the fault are yet not known and are currently being investigated. Corrective measures have been initiated and the repair vessel is getting ready to go on the site. The exact repair time is not yet known, but typically the repair time for submarine cables is between 5 and 15 days.
Finland's international telecommunication connections are routed via multiple routes and the impact of a single cable failure depends on the resilience of the service providers' connections.
C-Lion1 is a submarine telecommunications cable between Finland and Germany with a length of 1173 km. The submarine cable was launched in 2016 and connects Central European telecommunications networks to Finland and other Nordic countries.
More information of the situation will be updated on Tuesday 19 November, 2024.
