    Comprehensive foreign media news, the UK is working to repair the SHEFA-2 submarine cable
    between the Shetland and Orkney Islands in Scotland.
    The system is also connected to the Faroe Islands and is owned
    by the Faroe Islands Telecommunications Company.

    The SHEFA-2 submarine cable was put into commercial use
    in March 2008.
    The system is 1000 km long and is owned and/or operated
    by Faroe Telecom.

    It is reported that SHEFA-2 includes the world's longest section of pure passive fiber-optic cable, up to 390 kilometers, completely without amplifiers
    .
    The absence of submarine repeaters and power sources minimizes the repair and maintenance of submarine
    cables.
    At the same time, this solution is proof of the future, since terminal technology is the only project
    that needs to be changed to increase capacity.

    CEO Pall Vesturbu said: "We are undertaking some planned improvements to a part of the SHEFA-2 cable between Shetland and Orkney.
    .
    .
    And operators in Shetland are working to be able to reroute capacity transmissions to the Faroe Islands and another undersea cable back to Scotland
