Indian telecoms conglomerate Reliance Jio has announced it will build two submarine cables to help it satisfy India’s appetite for data.
One of the cables is called IEX, short for India-Europe-Express, and will head west from Mumbai and connect to the Middle East and North Africa before ending in Italy. Connecting points include Salalah (Oman), Djibouti, Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), Yanbu (Saudi Arabia), Duba (Saudi Arabia), Zafarana (Egypt), Sidi Karir (Egypt) Timpaki (Greece), and Savona (Italy).
Jio has left open the possibility for connections to Karachi (Pakistan), Muscat (Oman), Fujairah (UAE), Amara (Eritrea), Paphos (Cyprus), Milan (Italy), and Marseille (France).
