In the beginning of March, 2007, the "ArmenTel" Company intends to
actuate the Yerevan-Poti fiber-optic communication cable, used in
the railway system, to improve the quality of Armenia’s Internet
communication.

As the Head of the Department of Foreign Relations of RA Ministry
of Transport and Communication, Gagik Grigoryan, told ArmInfo, it
is a question of using the present cable from Yerevan to Poti for
telecommunication purposes as well. Until recently, he said, this
cable had been used only for safe functioning of the railway. However,
a high carrying capacity of the cable allows to use it for another
purposes as well, in particular, for providing the country with more
qualitative Internet communication.

The currently functioning cable had been out into operation in 2000
and was intended to enhance the safety and reliability of railways
of he region’s states. The European Union allocated about 17 mln Euro
to implement this Project, which have been equally distributed among
the South Caucasian countries.

According to ArmInfo data, the cable is tested at present for the
purpose of Internet communication.
