Farice has begun work on IRIS, the third submarine cable between Iceland and Europe. IRIS is designed to ensure and further diversify connection security between Iceland and the mainland with a direct connection to Ireland. Placing Iceland right next door, so to speak, to the largest data center hub in Europe.

The Icelandic and Irish parts of the cable are scheduled to be merged together when the cable from Galway in Ireland meets up with its Icelandic counterpart in August of this year - somewhere midways in the North-Atlantic.

IRIS is set to be fully operational at the beginning of 2023, taking Iceland's connectivity to the next level.
