In the digital world, data flow that occurs in seconds becomes sustainable and reliable when built on a robust infrastructure. The increasing need for speed on the internet, low latency expectations, and security requirements have made fiber infrastructure an indispensable element of modern communication networks.

Today, uninterrupted connectivity, efficiency, and security are of strategic importance not only for individuals but also for critical sectors such as finance, healthcare, education, energy, and logistics. Therefore, infrastructure investments form the basis of not only technological but also economic and social development.

Fiber Power Along the TANAP Route

The 1,850-kilometer SOCAR Fiber express route stretching from eastern to western Türkiye is one of the most notable investments in this field. This line, laid along the TANAP natural gas pipeline, serves as a strategic bridge not only for energy but also for data flow.

Passing close to cities such as Bursa, Eskişehir, Ankara, Sivas, Erzurum, and Kars, the route is built with dual-layer cables on both sides, ensuring redundancy and high reliability. This brings one of the most critical components of uninterrupted internet connectivity to life.

A Data Corridor Extending from Turkey to Neighboring Countries

The SOCAR Fiber infrastructure not only strengthens inter-city communication but also contributes to international connectivity diversity. The line, which extends to the borders of Greece and Georgia, covers a wide geography from Europe to the Caucasus and Caspian countries.

In this respect, Turkey is taking an important step towards becoming not only an energy corridor but also a digital data corridor.

Regional Impact Along the Southern Gas Corridor

The SOCAR Fiber line also integrates with energy infrastructures stretching from Azerbaijan to Italy along the Southern Gas Corridor. This ensures that not only Türkiye but the entire region has a powerful, secure, and high-capacity data line along the east-west axis.

The construction of energy and communication lines along the same route creates synergy in infrastructure investments. This approach not only provides cost advantages but also strengthens regional cooperation, enhancing both energy and digital communication security.

A Strategic Investment for the Digital Economy

The secure and fast communication provided by the fiber infrastructure directly contributes to the growth of the digital economy. From access to data centers to cloud computing, from online education to smart city applications, a strong internet infrastructure is becoming a fundamental requirement for technological progress.

Thanks to SOCAR Fiber's investment along the TANAP route, this fiber backbone, which spans from eastern to western Türkiye, meets not only today's but also tomorrow's digital needs with its high speed, low latency, and strong connection performance.

The Backbone of the Digital Future

Beyond increasing internet speed, fiber technology enables sustainable digital transformation across a wide range of areas, from economic growth to global competition, and from individual experience to international data flow.

The SOCAR Fiber line, stretching from eastern to western Türkiye, combined with regional connections provided by the Southern Gas Corridor, is not just an infrastructure investment; it also stands out as one of the strongest backbones of the digital future.
