Jeddah will become the cable landing station for the\nPakistan and East Africa Connecting Europe (PEACE) cable system. Zain is aiming\nfor the system to go live by early 2023. This unique investment will contribute\nto achieving several strategic objectives of the company. It will also enhance its\ncapabilities and boost the versatility of its international infrastructure by making\navailable to carriers and enterprises a brand-new entry point which will ensure\nhigher efficiency and faster performance in telecommunications to meet their\nconnectivity requirements in the Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">In line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, this investment\nby Zain will contribute to accelerating the digital transformation in the\nKingdom, helping it to grow into a lucrative market for international\nbusinesses and high-tech investments. The benefits of the J2M submarine cable\nsystem go beyond the Kingdom to serve the region and the world. Zain is a key\nenabler in developing a robust ICT sector on a global scale supported by\nnext-gen technologies, high-end innovations, and an advanced infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Commenting on this development, Eng. Sultan bin Abdulaziz Al-Deghaither,\nCEO, Zain KSA, said: \u201cWe are committed to ensuring a robust and fault-tolerant international\nconnectivity platform that supports the digital transformation program of Saudi\nVision 2030 and benefits the business community as well as the digital-savvy\nconsumer in the Kingdom, whilst advancing the Kingdom\u2019s position globally as a\nworld-class hub for ICT and digital services.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">For his part, Frederick Chui, COO, PCCW Global stated: \u201cOur\ncollaboration with Zain was and still is strategic and transformative for regional\nmarkets. As such, we are excited for this investment to unlock greater\noperational capacity in the Middle East, especially at a time when facilitating\nmore seamless access to data is essential for ensuring a competitive edge. For\nthat, we believe that this is the right time for increasing investments in submarine\ninfrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The privately-owned, 15,000-km-long PEACE submarine cable\nsystem offers open, flexible, and carrier-neutral services for its customers.\nIt is designed with the latest 200G transmission technology&nbsp;and WSS ROADM\nBU technology, which provides the capability to transmit over 16Tbps per fiber\npair&nbsp;servicing growing regional capacity needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The PEACE cable system substantially reduces network latency\nby adopting the shortest direct route connectivity, providing cost-effective capacity\nin an economically growing region and enhancing route diversity between Asia,\nAfrica, and Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Line with the Kingdom\u2019s Aspirations to Become a Global Center for Digital Network Connectivity Zain announced the kickoff of the J2M (Jeddah, KSA to Marseille, France) submarine cable system, which will link the Middle East with Africa.
