Havana, May 27 (Prensa Latina) The Ridley Thomas ship arrived at Santiago de Cuba port to continue a study aimed at defining the route of the underwater optical cable which will improve Cuba's Internet connection through Venezuela.
The underwater exploration started on May 5 in the surroundings of Maiquetia airport, near the Venezuelan capital, and it was enlarged 3318 miles up to Siboney beach, near Santiago de Cuba city.
A second stage includes the exploration of another 124 miles up to Jamaica.
"We already have the maps, but the crossing points are still to be defined," CMKC Radio Revolucion quoted the manager of the Geologic Projects Company, Anthony Pyn, as saying.
The expert, with experience in similar investments in Asia and Oceania, added that the study is a hard task, but it will reveal how much severity is demanded for the installation of the optical cable early next year.
Waldo Reboredo, vice president of Gran Caribe Telecommunications, the Cuban-Venezuelan company to operate in the cable, said that the study will be staged in shallow waters with high technology equipments, ships, and several hours of marine research
