Lagunen, Sweden

Lagunen, Sweden: Submarine Cable Landing Point

Lagunen is a submarine cable landing point located in Sweden, situated along the Swedish coast as part of the country's broader network of twenty landing points serving seventeen submarine cables. One submarine cable lands at Lagunen, connecting Sweden to Norway through a regional corridor in the Baltic and North Sea area. The cable serving this landing point establishes a direct link between Sweden and its Scandinavian neighbour, placing Lagunen within a regional Nordic connectivity framework.

The single cable landing at Lagunen, N0r5ke Viking 2, positions this location as a point of direct bilateral connectivity between Sweden and Norway. While Lagunen currently hosts one cable, its presence within Sweden's submarine cable geography reflects the distributed nature of coastal landing infrastructure across the country.

Cables Landing at Lagunen

N0r5ke Viking 2 is a submarine cable with a length of 900 km, currently in draft status with a scheduled ready-for-service year of 2028. The cable connects Sweden and Norway, with Lagunen serving as one of its Swedish landing points. As the cable is still in the draft phase, it represents planned future capacity in the Norway–Sweden corridor rather than an already-operational link.

Regional Context

Among Sweden's twenty landing points, Lagunen hosts one cable, placing it alongside Borbby Strandbad and Byxelkrok as single-cable landing points, while locations such as Farosund (three cables), Klagshamn (two cables), Stavsnas (two cables), and Stockholm (two cables) serve larger shares of Sweden's submarine cable traffic. Lagunen ranks in the top 81% of Swedish landing points by cable count, reflecting its position as a smaller but geographically distributed node within the national submarine cable landscape.

Network Role

Lagunen functions as a single-cable terminus in the Sweden–Norway corridor, with N0r5ke Viking 2 providing the sole connection routed through this landing point upon the cable's completion in 2028. The 900 km cable length places it well above the Swedish average of 335 km, indicating that the route it follows between Sweden and Norway spans a considerable distance along the Scandinavian coastline. As a draft-stage cable, the full network contribution of Lagunen remains forthcoming rather than currently active.

Within the regional submarine cable graph, Lagunen represents Sweden's capacity to distribute landing infrastructure across multiple coastal sites rather than concentrating connectivity at a small number of hubs, ensuring that bilateral links such as the Norway–Sweden route served by N0r5ke Viking 2 can be anchored at geographically distinct points along the Swedish coast.
