Neutral, open-access subsea infrastructure 
for resilient international connectivity

Based in the Netherlands and structured to scale worldwide, IOEMA is building a neutral, open-access subsea fibre platform designed to improve route diversity, strengthen resilience, and provide stable, secure international connectivity.

The IOEMA platform

IOEMA’s platform is built around our 3S architecture:

  • Switchable – configurable at deployment and adaptable throughout system life
  • SMART – compatible with environmental monitoring and sensing capabilities
  • Secure – resilient by design, with shore-to-core digital and physical protection

Together, these principles create a durable, adaptable, and resilient infrastructure model capable of serving a wide range of use cases, from rapidly deployable, reconfigurable capacity or spectrum services to support high-bandwidth dynamic traffic environments to long-term fibre connectivity for customers requiring stable and secure international fibre connectivity.

IOEMA-1

Our first system, IOEMA-1, is 1600km repeater based subsea system planned to connect the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, and Norway, adding high-capacity subsea connectivity and strengthening digital resilience across Northern Europe.

With a minimum of 24 fibre pairs, IOEMA-1 has a design capacity of 1 Pb/s with a further extension to France under consideration.
