Altamimi said that the RCN would be fully-redundant terrestrial communications infrastructure along a 7,750 kilometer round trip route. Two billions people would benefit from the RCN as it would become their gateway to the internet.

Over fifteen access points in Bulgarian and Greek borders would be used in this project. Fire on both routes would be dedicated to the RCN by each provider allowing for expected upgrades and re-routing.
