The Eastern Mediterranean Optical System (EMOS-1) is a fiber optic cable linking Palermo, Italy with Lechaina, Greece; Marmaris, Turkey and Tel Aviv, Israel, which was created in Turkey in 1991. Consisting of three pairs which are split en route through branching units. The ship CS Vercors laid the cable.[1] Each pair of fibres are capable of transmitting 1920 telephone calls in each direction.
History
In November 1990, the undersea cable EMOS-1, connecting Israel with Turkey, Greece and Italy, was deployed. This was the first Israeli-built undersea cable,[1] and was augmented by CIOS in April 1994. Since then, other cables have been laid which have provided large capacity links between Israel and abroad.

gollark: I can send you the CC-side code.
gollark: This is not too difficult, I think it took me about 30 minutes.
gollark: If you were to do it from scratch it would also require setting up Grafana and Prometheus.
gollark: I basically just had to write 20 lines of bridge code (into my existing random stuff webserver) and add some code to the computers running stuff ingame.
