Description
Description | The 2Africa submarine cable system is a global subsea network designed to boost internet capacity linking Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia. The Persian Gulf segment of the cable, which connects markets including India, Pakistan, and several Gulf states, has had its construction halted due to escalating conflict and security risks in the region. The cable route across the Persian Gulf is largely installed, but several landing stations remain unconnected, delaying the project's completion. |
