Libya has officially inaugurated the Medusa subsea cable, marking a significant step in its aspirations to establish itself as a digital hub in the region. Launched on May 11, the 8,700-kilometer cable connects Libya directly to Europe’s extensive digital infrastructure, paving the way for deeper integration into the global digital economy.

The project is led by the state-owned Libyan Post, Telecommunications and Information Technology Company (LPTIC), and is viewed by industry experts as transformative for the nation’s telecommunications sector. The Medusa cable is designed not just as a high-speed data channel; it aims to serve as the foundation for Libya’s digital future. Major cities such as Tripoli, Misrata, and Benghazi are expected to experience significant improvements in internet connectivity, facilitating the rollout of reliable 5G networks while fostering the growth of data centers and cloud computing capabilities.

LPTIC anticipates that this enhanced connectivity will not only expedite internet access across the country but also attract international technology partnerships, reinforcing Libya’s ties with global Internet Service Providers (ISPs).

The strategic importance of the subsea cable extends beyond commercial ventures; government officials believe it will be instrumental in modernizing state data governance. Enhanced infrastructure is expected to accelerate the delivery of digital public services and support the transition towards a digital-first approach within governmental institutions.

As Libya strives for greater digital sovereignty and seeks to revitalize its economy, the Medusa cable is positioned as a vital technological and economic asset in this broader transformation.
