Telecom Egypt and Zain Omantel International to establish new digital corridor

Digital users from the Indian Ocean to Europe can soon expect enhanced reliability, resilience, and data protection, thanks to a new corridor established by Zain Omantel International.    

The company has collaborated with Telecom Egypt to establish the new route design, which will connect the Mediterranean Sea with the Arabian Sea and Arabian Gulf, according to a statement.  

This move offers an opportunity for subsea cable owners by helping them reduce their construction costs as well as elevate latency, resilience, and market response times.   

“We are excited to collaborate with ZOI on this strategic project; it’s a game-changer in the Eurasia route connectivity landscape,” Managing Director and CEO at Telecom Egypt Mohamed Nasr said.   

“As we look for innovative ways to better serve our customers, we will consistently strive to provide a seamless international connectivity network and increase our diversity layers without compromising quality, cost, or speed,” he added. 

Nasr highlighted the firm’s strategy to leverage Telecom Egypt’s established history in subsea cables and its experienced team to achieve this goal, while the CEO of ZOI Sohail Qadir said: “We are delighted to partner with Telecom Egypt on such a groundbreaking project.” 

He added: “ZOI was created to revolutionize the wholesale telecom scene, and this is an example of what the future holds.”
