Jio to develop largest international submarine cable system

18 May 2021 CW Team

Indian telecom company Reliance Jio is developing the largest international submarine cable system in India.

Jio has joined hands with their global partners and top submarine cable supplier SubCom and is presently extending two next-generation cables to support data demand across all regions.

The India-Asia-Xpress (IAX) system connects India eastwards to Singapore and beyond while the India-Europe-Xpress (IEX) system connects India westwards to the Middle East and Europe. They also connect the Jio global network across the Asia Pacific and Europe to both the east and west coast of the United States.

The systems are initiated to improve the ability of consumer and enterprise users to obtain content and cloud services all across India, says Jio.

The IAX system expands the connectivity of India from Mumbai and Chennai to Asia Pacific markets like--Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore while the IEX system connects India to Italy, grounding in Savona, and further touchdowns in --the Middle East and North Africa.

The systems are said to improve services globally by linking various world-class inter-exchange points and content hubs.

Placing India at the centre of the international network map is the very first in the history of fibre optic submarine telecommunications and proclaims the importance, staggering growth and quantum shift of India in data use since the arrival of Jio services.

The submarine cable has high capacities and high-speed systems which will provide more than 200 Tbps of capacity spread across 16,000 km.

The system incorporates open system technology and the latest wavelength switched RoADM/branching units to secure rapid grade deployment and improved flexibility across various locations.

Mathew Oommen, President of Reliance Jio cited the importance of Jio in digital services and data consumption. He said, taking authority over the construction of India’s first subsea systems is an initiative to meet the demands of streaming video, remote workforce, 5G, IoT and many other needs.

Oommen added that the company has only accelerated in digital transformation due to the rise in demand for high-performance network connections among enterprises and consumers despite being hit by the pandemic.

The launch of IAX is expected by mid of 2023 and IEX by early 2024.
