The Libyan Post, Telecommunications and Information Technology Company (LPTIC) has announced the launching of the "Medusa" submarine cable project, one of the strategic initiatives that will connect Libya to Europe through an undersea cable stretching 8,700 kilometers.
The launching ceremony was attended by the Head of the General Authority for Communications and Information, Abdelbaset Al-Baaour; Chairman of the Board of LPTIC, Youssef Abu Zuwaita; Mayor of Misrata, Mahmoud Al-Saqoutari; and officials from telecommunications companies.
LPTIC said that the project represents a qualitative leap in the telecommunications sector, as it connects Libya to the world’s largest internet service providers.
This is expected to enhance the quality and speed of internet services in Tripoli, Misrata, and Benghazi, as well as support 5G applications, data centers, and cloud computing.
The Medusa cable will also facilitate the delivery of digital services to citizens and strengthen data governance within sovereign and public service institutions, contributing to national digital transformation.
