Norilsk Nickel has completed the installation of a backup fiber optic line from Novy Urengoy to Norilsk, increasing the reliability of the Internet for residents of the region. Now, in the event of a break or damage to the main line, there will be an automatic switch to the backup channel.

The main Internet connection sweden whatsapp resource line to the Norilsk industrial region was installed in 2017. The total length, including the backup channel, was 2,000 km. The channel capacity is 200 Gbit/s, which provides a technical reserve for the development of the Russian Arctic.

in harsh climate conditions, far from populated areas and roads. Depending on the terrain, the cable was laid between power line supports and supports built to hang the cable, or by laying it in the ground. The trench for the cable was prepared with a special cutter, which has almost no impact on the environment.

The project's special feature was the construction of an underwater section of the communication line running along the bottom of the Yenisei. The length of this section was 8 km, including a backup channel. The cable was laid near the coastline using horizontal directional drilling with an outlet into the riverbed at a distance of 500–700 m from the shore. The riverbed section was laid by an underwater excavator operated by divers.

The project was implemented by the company "Edinstvo", a subsidiary of "Norilsk Nickel".
