Cyta partners with Google and Italian Sparkle, connecting continents through the BlueMed project

A new chapter for Cyprus’ international connectivity
Cyta lands BlueMed submarine cable at its landing station in Yeroskipos, marking another decisive step in strengthening the country’s international connectivity.
BlueMed, a project developed by Italian provider Sparkle in collaboration with Google and other global partners, is part of a wider submarine cable system that connects Italy with the Mediterranean, the Near East, and India. It offers high speeds, low latency, and seamless connectivity between Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
The landing of BlueMed in Cyprus, led by Cyta, reinforces the country’s position as a strategic telecommunications hub in the Eastern Mediterranean, providing direct connections with Greece, Italy, and other Mediterranean countries, while expanding the potential for the development of Cyprus’ digital ecosystem.
Mr. George Metzakis, Chief Commercial Officer of Cyta, stated: “The arrival of BlueMed in Cyprus is a decisive step in our mission to strengthen the island’s international connectivity, attracting new investments and development opportunities”.
On his part, Mr. George Malikides, Chief Technology Officer of Cyta, noted: “Cyta’s connection to BlueMed further enhances the island’s digital ecosystem and consolidates Cyprus’ role as a key connectivity hub in the Eastern Mediterranean”.
