Saudi Arabia\u2019s telecommunications company, Mobily, has entered into a cooperation agreement with Telecom Egypt to establish the first Saudi-owned subsea cable connecting the two nations across the Red Sea. <\/p>\n
The agreement includes the installation of the subsea cable, which will be fully owned by Mobily, with landing stations in Duba, Saudi Arabia, and Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, as stated by Mobily on X. <\/p>\n
This cable will serve as a link between Asia and Africa, creating a route to Europe by connecting Saudi Arabia with Egypt. <\/p>\n
It will enhance connectivity options for Gulf countries and neighboring regions through Mobily\u2019s digital network, integrating with Egyptian landing stations in the Mediterranean. <\/p>\n
Additionally, it will provide new routes to improve service reliability and meet customer needs within the Kingdom and beyond. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe new cable represents a significant milestone in strengthening Saudi Arabia’s position as a leading international hub for telecommunications services and data traffic, in alignment with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030,\u201d said Salman bin Abdulaziz Al-Badran, CEO of Mobily. <\/p>\n
He added: \u201cThe signing of the agreement underscores our commitment to expanding our infrastructure and enhancing our capabilities both regionally and internationally, as Mobily\u2019s new cable will connect Saudi Arabia to Egypt and improve communication flexibility between the Middle East and Europe.\u201d <\/p>\n
This agreement aligns with Mobily\u2019s strategy to bolster its infrastructure and network capabilities. Building on its previous investments in subsea cables that connect global regions, the new cable will expand Mobily\u2019s international reach and capacity. <\/p>\n
\u201cComplementing the newly established landing station in Sharm El-Sheikh, we are developing new crossing routes to connect Sharm El-Sheikh to the Mediterranean Sea,\u201d stated Mohamed Nasr, managing director and CEO of Telecom Egypt. <\/p>\n
He further said: \u201cWe are confident that this commercial agreement will be a valuable addition to our ongoing efforts to support this critical sector and cater to the rising demand for capacity and connectivity.\u201d <\/p>\n
By increasing capacity and expanding its global reach through new collaborations, Mobily is dedicated to enhancing its subsea network infrastructure both domestically and internationally. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am pleased with our cooperation with Telecom Egypt, which will enable us to offer the best services to all our customers around the world,\u201d Al-Badran noted. <\/p>\n
\u201cTelecom Egypt is dedicated to advancing the international telecommunications infrastructure by enhancing the geographical diversity of the global subsea cable networks,\u201d Nasr added. <\/p>\n
This commitment aims to provide cutting-edge digital solutions to customers and support the sustainable growth of the Kingdom\u2019s ICT sector through advanced infrastructure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
