News Desk: In a bid to enhance Iraq’s broadband and telecommunications links to the rest of the world Indian mobile operator Reliance Communications has launched a joint venture with the country in the Middle East.  Reliance Globalcom, the sub-sea cable unit of Indian mobile operator Reliance Communications, informed about the launch on Monday. The venture includes activation of Al-Faw Cable Landing Station, a project of Iraqi Telecommunications and Post Company (ITPC).  This will be a significant step towards expanding connection of Iraq to countries in the Middle East, Asia, Europe and North America.  The said station which has been designed for a capacity of 680 Gbps with two diverse routes would initially use 50 Gbps on each route to meet the existing market demand. The two diverse routes were connected to the Falcon undersea fiber-optic cable network owned by Reliance Globalcom.  "This will help connect Iraq to the rest of the world through our global networks. The Middle East is one of the fastest-growing regions in the world," said Rory Cole, COO of Reliance Globalcom.  Currently, Reliance Globalcom owns the world's largest private undersea cable system spanning 65,000 kilometers. |
