Since 2008 Caucasus Online has been the sole owner of a 1,200-km submarine fiber-optic cable constructed by Tyco Electronics (today known as TE Subcom), through which it transits Internet traffic from Europe to south Caucasus and Caspian Region. The FOC was laid on the bottom of the Black Sea to provide a direct, high-quality fiber-optic Internet connection from Europe to Caucasus Region and Middle East. The project was developed by Caucasus Online in co-operation with Tyco Electronics in 2008. On September 2016 Caucasus Online sold its Retail business to Magticom and now Caucasus Online is a major wholesale operator in the region.
